This weekend I aim to get most of the essential safety requirements done. I have just realised that Indy is on, so there is a good chance I'll get distracted. Might have to set the hard drive.
The list is pretty long. It includes:
Make and fit tail shaft loops Fit CAMS approved tow points Make new harness mounts to meet CAMS guidelines Make blanking plates for firewall holes Remove steering wheel lock Upgrade fire extinguisher mount to meet CAMS guidelines Blank out holes in doors, or make door trims
Also I want to make a new front pipe to replace what can only be described as a disgraceful factory item. I had no idea that there was such a difference across the models. My other TT has a different front pipe. I'll take some pics to show what I mean later. The new one will be three inch and utilise mandrel bends. The front flange will be a bit tricky due to the strange angle. If I don’t get it done, I’m not too concerned, as the car can be driven as is.
