  1. dammit, deleted post. so iv repaired the damaged passenger seat side bolster. il do the top wings and the drivers seat too so they all look the same. the glue used is ados f2 in a can. one coat on the vinyl and two on the cloth. the vinyl is the strong woven nylon (I think) backed type. I think it's given the seats a new turn at life and the repairs look better than the cost suggests they should!! first coat of glue second coat of glue and stuffed the void with a scotch pad LOL. completed. I went around the outside of each patch and lifted any loose edges/ added glue and trimmed the vinyl so it matched the cloth seam perfectly. and they feel soft and nice... not as bad as vinyl glued to fabric should feel IMO.
  2. you would need two more bearings in the centre because the self aligning bearings won't support things otherwise. convert to v- belt drive then mount motor level. a little twist won't bother it
  3. hi all. so one if these is paid for and on the way http://www.colemanracing.com/Brake-Pedal-Assembly-Hanging-Single-Pedal-P4503.aspx last night I cut out these side bolster wear patches for the fishnets ( only done bottom so far ) and iv started modifying the cars ashtray. the tray sits below the head unit and will look stock when pushed home- and will function as an iPhone holder when open. in the tray I will have aux in cable and in the side of the tray I have fitted a USB power point for charging duties. I was going to just use the iPhones standard charge cable plugged into the USB but am thinking now I might fit a proper hard mounted iPhone plug into the tray which will also hold the phone upright. the USB socket can be used for other phones/ whatever. the old hu iv got coming will hopefully be pretty easy to add aux in to.

  5. so if anyone cares.... recaros fitted and interior cleaned!! I have an idea to fix and protect side bolsters too discuss //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/34636-fbs-gemini/page__view__getnewpost oops clicked post too early
  6. so happy! the Gem spent a few days at the shop and I got her back last night. replaced the starter with a good second hand one and replaced a bunch of bushes up front with nolithane. she then got a wof and our first day together was grand this motors lovely ( but not a powerhouse!!) and it drives far better in general than I expected it to. tonight I measured up and drew adaptor plates to mount my fishnets... that's a job for tomorrow
