Default Slowy's progress pics

Posting some more progress pics. Car was away Xmas getting exhaust fitted so not much progress till now.

Pics below show the remodelled extractors and the bulk of the system beneath. The mufflers are nestled beside the fuel tank just behind the rear wheel arches to maximise clearance. The GF fuel tank has cutaway sides to allow an angled muffler to fit in!

Funny how you read posts and think it can't be THAT hard can it? Well all those posts about fitting wipers are right, what a royal pain in the butt.

Problems started with the 115 degree wiper gear, well the usual pin removal has fixed that. Made it adjustable to get the right sweep and I think I readjusted and refitted the wiper motor some 5 times before I got it right.

However I had started off fitting two wheel boxes to suit 115 and this has made life a bit harder once I reduced the sweep.

Getting good screen coverage, avoiding wiper run off and having the wipers park nicely at the bottom of the screen has been a challenge, and I know I've managed at least one out of three and we'll see what the engineer says about coverage later.

Found my middle wiper just clips the screen rubber at the top but I reckon some fine knife work will remove the small (5-10mm) offending piece of wiper blade and all will be sweet.

Anyway with this done I can get back to the fuel system I had to remove to allow the exhaust to be fitted, the old 3 steps forward 2 back, but at least there is movement.

Enjoy
