The small might could work for me I guess.

Pete - What size is your plate? Would it fit in an import holder?

ill measure this afternoon for you

[dawesy]

personally i like the UK plate (esp if you can get one thats slightly thinner as im sure the rgs relate to the letter size as opposed to plate size)
looks cleaner some how, and after seeing it in the flesh today thats one clean car. looks awesome with good attention to detail

Was good to meet you yesterday Thanks for dropping the tap and die of, much appreciated.

You should get some photos of the car up at some point, as it's quite an epic build

No probs buddy. Good to meet you.
Cheers buddy will sort some pics out soon need to get the engine bay and interior tidied up first though.
Yours really is awesome though. And looks soooo clean

12"x3" seems to be the smaller size, which is the same width as an import

You know how we were discussing marking the paint etc yesterday....? Guess what I did when I picked up the engine cover..

It'd being resprayed anyway, so nothing lost. I do need to learn to keep quiet from now on though [/i]

[dawesy]

oh dear. spose these things happen. seems the more care we take to not damage cars the more likely it is to happen

[Magic Beans]

That paint is a curse

Beauty

I've got some free time Friday daytime, so could pop over and collect them?

Anyone got an import front plate holder they wish to sell me?

[riot68]

should be about most of the day with a bit of warning, in fact might be getting parts off the Civic weather dependent. Will you be in the Mule?...

[Magic Beans]

That works out nicely then

Mule negative most likely, unless the weather improves

[riot68]

yeah, just give us a ring before you leave...

[Magic Beans]

Could you let me know when you have them please?

[riot68]

will probably pick up Thursday... Will post a pic here when I get them ,,,

i want a import plate holder..but means drilling holes in the smoothed bumper lol..

have left the sticker plate on for now.

its funny how a numberplate can totally change the way the front of the car looks

[Magic Beans]

Agreed

You could always stick the holder onto the front of the car. No holes but would possibly mark the paint if/when removed

Tonight I made a start on another thing on the "To do" list. One that needs to be done become Le Mans, or we'll come unstuck. That job being fitting a 12v feed, as the Mule doesn't have one due to it being removed in favour of an S2000 starter button (which I never use...)

I had a good think about where the best place for it would be. I had thought about putting it in the little cubby next to the driver's knee, however it's not ideal. The glove box wouldn't work because I couldn't reach it if I was on my own. So I decided on the cubby box, as things charging could be kept in place en route. I don't like things moving around in the car, or rattles

So out with the cubby


Find a suitable location for it


It's good to have spares from Mule v1


Drill the hole. Thankfully I had a hole cutter which was exactly the right size. That never happens




Hole deburred it was time to cut a matching hole in the tunnel


Test fitting. Fits like a glove


Next up is wiring it in, but not tonight

[pistol pete]

nice neat little job there buddy

[riot68]

bloody good idea chap!...

[DanT]

Interesting that the box is white. .which page am I gonna find more pics of your interior? Lol
