good stuff keep us updated with the work

It's slow at the moment, spent a summer as Dads taxi taking our son over the country playing cricket, funny he's not a petrol head like I was his age at all, bit season has just finished so crack on with the car but this little chap is our newest member perhaps he will be a better garage companion

 

[Gary]

Can anyone help with pictures of the mounting brackets for the radiator on an alpine/ gordini turbo please, in particular the bottom underside bracket. Been a while since I took things off and can't figure out what bracket goes where! Thanks

 

[Gary]

Proper go slow here at the moment but nevertheless the inlet manifolds finally being machined to receive injector boss

 

[Adey]

steep angle, i ran my injectors back at the top on itbs with no issues.

 

[Gary]

I know and I have thought a lot about this but felt it would be neater for the fuel rail, I will sit the injector deep bit of trial and error to be honest.

 

[Adey]

its always going to be a tight setup on that, i remember mulling over it for ages myself. i only went the way i did as the bodies already had the bosses in them so made it easier for me, keep up the good work

 

[Gary]

Time to get this project back up and running now that my sons hectic cricket season has come to an end, just a couple of questions
What pick up sensor would you guys recommend
Any particular lambda sensor I should use
Are there any compatible TPS out there for Dellortos

 

[Gary]

Well it’s been a while. But have had time in the five recently especially under the lock down. There is nothing straight forward on this car and every step foreword throws up another problem, but I do feel it’s getting there. EFI conversion taking shape but had to have brackets made to move the
Alterrnator foreword, dellortos have been resin filled, fuel rail almost complete, new low level mangoletsi

[Adey]

[gordini stu]

Had a read back through, cracking job , I loving the fuel injection set up . I have decided to keep mine standard , and have a left hooker tl spec car with a mint shell destine to be a turbo2 rep but this has me thinking differently . Keep up the good work

 

[Gary]

And then there was light, finally a glimmer of progress

 

[Adey]

OMG so much yes!

 

[Gary]

New carpet delivered today, not quite ready for it but just had to attempt to fit some, heat gun and pegs to gently mould it in one piece to awkward radius’ some before and after pics

 

[Gary]

Can’t beat a bit of bling

 

[DaveL485]

I'd like to see a wider angle shot of those

 

[Gary]

Can’t believe I actually enjoyed sewing , just pushing on so the bulkhead carpets can go in and th dash can have a final fit
