AE86 GTV-Multipoint Cage, Beams, AP Brakes & Brides

[Conrad]

Well I managed a little bit of progress whilst home on leave....

I cut out the section of the tail light & registration plate holder to allow access to the fuel cap, then fitted it all in place



Next up, I needed to make a carbon backing to put in the clock surround of the dash board, the AIM electronic dash will be mounted on this. Marked up the carbon with the shape required and started chopping.





AIM Dash in place for a template and marked up.


ECU & Relay Mounts - Next up I cut a piece of carbon to mount the ECU and relays on, this will be rubber mounted onto the gearbox tunnel and sit behind the centre console.


Centre console, as previously mentioned I wanted to make this quick release so I will be using Dzus fasteners. I mounted a small piece of prepreg carbon angle and put in two Dzus fasteners.



Holes drilled in the centre console and the angle test fitted.





Now mounted top and bottom




I did attempt a few other things but ran into problems

Brake lines, whilst attempting to fit these, I discovered that the fabricators have mounted the pedal box too far back, the master cylinder is up against the body work and there is no room for the banjo or banjo bolt so the pedal box will need moving forward an inch.

Airbox - I had a look at fitting this but soon discovered that the strut brace (welded in)is in the way and the remote bottles for the pedal box are in the way so this will need to be cut out and the affected areas re-painted

Oh well, onwards and upwards......
