Thanks Lauren, I used the search function but this thread did not come up! your circuit is perfect, many thanks. Regards John

Dan, I could send you a photo if it helps. Can't promise that it'll look anything like a finished Nova, so might be a bit boring for some, but it...

I would echo what Dave has said - the rear view mirror severely obstructs forward vision for tall drivers. Also, if it is a reversing camera, i.e....

Hi PP2 - yes, I posted the circuit diagram on my Dashboard Blues thread... let's see if I can make this work... ...

Hi Lauren, do you have the circuit diagram for how you implemented the windscreen wiper regenerative braking on the green machine? I am using a...

I have to agree with Alex that big mirrors totally obliterate visibility, especially for tall folk like you Steve. Nice idea but don’t do it. Sort...

I picked one up but found it was too huge to use - it cut out so much forward vision that there was no advantage....

So far we have 6 photos including those that have said they will possibly send. I can add one of mine in so that hits 7, 5 more to go. I’ll check...

Hi Alan, I’m looking to get everything in and prepared by the middle of November latest, as I need time to get them all printed and delivered to me...

Hi, Can you put me down for 2 Calendars please? When are you looking to have the photos? Just thinking that maybe I can take one of the 2 cars...

after my accident I fitted a dash cam front and rear, to actually see the screen whilst reversing it has to be angled so much that the front camera...

I'm nowhere near thinking about that yet Steve, but for the price it looks worth a shot. I like the concept of an 'image' where the rear mirror...

If I find one I will post it on the board. Nothing so far... All I have done at the back is dial in the same rebound setting I had on the SPAX...

Nic, I had previously pulled apart another tail light I was experimenting with. The diffused look is created by a white layer of translucent plastic...

I like the modern diffused look, too. Although I've never done much research as to how it's done. Do you know? Can you see from the tail light you...

Not the reply I was expecting I thought you would come back with a technical paper detailing the advantages with complicated mathematical equations...

Need to get a few more to make this happen guys :) We need enough for 12 photos for a start :crylol:

Same rationale as the back really, although I am still experimenting with settings. The extra adjustment isn't a major contributor to the overall...

Thanks Steve and Jim for the measurements, much appreciated. Look like what I had in mind works width-wise, but not necessarily height-wise. I may...

Glad to hear what little I learned in construction was of use to you Dirk :) That bit about tightening the bolts was something I learned the hard...

What was your rational behind double adjustable shocks on the front? Dirk

That would be a big no no, hardcore is much smaller big lumps of concrete just trap air. It was separated as the local farmer came and picked it up...

Cheers Alistair, we are at one of those rare moments when reality has been caught up by print - not much progress since then. With a respray...

not the easiest to measure, as high on a shelf with other car bits, but around 31.5cm x 11cm

I agree - and the SE5a is the one to have, with the best combination of engine and overdrive gearbox. I like to think that the moulded dash on the...

Just got the Nov copy of CKC and am amazed to see the extensive number of small repairs to your Nova's body with a view to getting her ready for a...

I've been keeping an accurate record of my build costs and it's now standing at £4582 but my starting point was a car that only cost me £500,...

Just noticed on your top picture that you separated out the hardcore (big lumps) from the dirt/soil so you can lob it back in with the concrete....
