Same experience here. Does the wiki space need funding? Could a mod explain for us please?

Was never anything to do with us/.org. From memory, the "guide" was just a pdf version of Vocky's original post and the whole thing barely contained anything of any use and the SELOC wiki probably has more useful stuff.

Aahh, sorry.  Understood.

Not sure where I should begin making this bigger, seat belt is in the way and welded to the roll bar. What do you think is the recommenced battery powered tool that won't end up with my car on fire? I have no power supply.

What is the point in a fuel pump inspection hatch that's not big enough.

Seatbelt casing is not welded to the rollbar.

Lay your head sideways where those 4 screws are lying.

 

You will see a large bolt. (Use a flashlight)

That's great news, I'll try and take a closer look. What tool do you recommend I get for this job, looking back Nev said a nibbler and I think someone else said a dremel, would a dremel by up to the job?

[smiley]

I used a dremel, but that's because it was all i had.

[gaffer1986]

Cool

[vocky]

measure twice and cut once, do not go too close to the edge.

[vocky]

something like this

[gaffer1986]

Wow, way to go Neil! I don't deserve your help. I'm going to buy a dremel and give it a go next time I have a chance.

[gaffer1986]

I'm about to use a dremel where Vocky has marked the lines.. Is this really safe? Will sparks set me car on fire?

[chris_uk]

what sparks?

 

just take your inertia reel off and then the cover and just feel underneath for where the loom is, they tape it to the underside and sometimes its right were you need to cut.

 

try drilling holes on the corners and cut up to the holes, make it neater and for what its worth probably stronger than 90degree cuts.

 

jam a rag in there before cutting so the swarf doesnt go everywhere.

Thanks for the warning about the wiring harness. I was thinking of drilling holes, surely once I touch it with the dremel sparks will be everywhere?

[gaffer1986]

That wiring harness doesn't want to move anywhere even after removing the duck tape. I guess I'll have to be very careful.

[chris_uk]

it would if it was steel, but its aluminium so no sparks  

[gaffer1986]

Yes, no sparks

[gaffer1986]

There are no pump installed pictures on this thread anymore so I'm struggling to figure out the circlip.

 

First time I've used a dremel, I know it's not tidy
