AAAGGGG I cant do this friggen imageshack crap !
I have asked the blitzboy to upload
Here is a rundown of what i did, i drilled the standard mirror stalk to make an indent to house the little ball on the "swivel" i then made two "Bullets" on the lathe drilled a 8.5mm hole in them they go into the stalk and fasten with two grubscrews the swivel go's into the big hole and get held there by the stalk !
hope you guys understand the pics should show the whole deal !!

Sounds interesting, Blitz! where are those pics, you are taking so long you'd swear there is a fastback taking up your attention, or that you might have a life besides ACVW :shock: The Horror! :)

It performs the same as Dynamat at about half the price and it sticks when stuck. Some of the other stuff like HOS KILLER peels off when the car is parked in the sun.

Update, have had the bus at my shop now for just under a week and the fact that I can tinker on it during the day has made a huge difference ! We have check/replaced all bolts we can find and fitted the splitpins required, all the door latches rubbers ect has been fitted the dry sump tank is in with its breather box, axel boots , all the calipers braided lines master cylinder,(i was dreading the big brake bleed but we had it perfect in less than half an hour !!)shocks , radiator,fans,gear links in short er..er.. everything ! Its off to my autoleccie on monday for the wiring and then interior after that its putting in the engine with all the relevant plumbing and pumps.......

Update time....The bus finaly emerged from the auto leccie i took much much longer that i had hoped but i woulnd trust anyone with the wiring than my mate Jose this said the work is done right and just the way i wanted it all the wirring has been upgrade relays fitted for the fuel injection running two fuse boxes one for the engine efi and fan units and one for the rest, i have been in negotiations with the interior guys for months and they were verry suprised when a dusty bus arrived there this morning ( i could see at one stage they doubted that this is gonna happen) So im off to the states for a couple of weeks and by the time i get back the interior should be sorted there is not much to show right now but i'l post pics in a couple of weeks when im back !
Happy days its only taken two years to get this far ! :?
