Popular Post nels Posted July 11, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 Turns out the front screen was a piece of piss to install compared to the rear screen. Bit more cursing and elbow grease and she’s in. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Made up a tool to insert the chrome strip and I installed that today. also found the little chrome clips that cover the back corners and front join. A bit of tinfoil and elbow grease and they will come up like new. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 This arrived last week from the States so I’m starting the process of running all the wiring and getting everything I can hooked up and ready for the sparky to test it all. if it’s anything like the last two times I did it on a ford pop and 55 chevy this will take me ages..I’m bloody slow at this stuff. I used the same kind of kit way back in the early nineties and it’s good to see the quality is still the same. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Decided to mount it in the glove box area so had a fab shop fold up a bracket for it and it’s all secured in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 It’s been a busy end to the year and a quick start to the new one. managed a little trip down to Horopito to pick up a few bits and a drivers side glass which was great. got most of the wiring connected ready for the sparky to check it all over before I tidy it up and throw it all up behind the dash. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Started to make up a template for a neutral safety switch for the shifter. The B & M shifter I have is the very first model they made 60 series with a gate shift pattern but no safety switch Just going to add a couple of dimples in the right places to activate the micro switch. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Had a helper installing the trans cooler. Had no room up front so thought I would tuck it away but hopefully still gets enough air flow. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nels Posted January 17, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 Can’t wait to fire this thing up. Added a trailer plug for the front wiring so we can pull the front whenever we need to. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Turns out trying to get rear quarter window rubbers for the HBs fixed windows is impossible even in the Uk. so only option was to get a whole lot of samples sent from Basis to see what could work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Finally found one that had a thick enough base to hold the glass in place securely as the viva has a deep channel to it. the rubber had a flap on the bottom also and the side profile was quite bulgy so we trimmed the flap off and also shaved the profile so the trims could sit better on them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 A very helpful guy with a sweet HB Gt gave me some very good trims to work with as mine were rusted to bits. I’ve ground the piece off the back that used to slip into the old rubbers and will urethane them in place once I’ve installed and sealed the windows 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nels Posted April 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2022 Window rubbers are all made up and trimmed down. used a product Loctite 406 to glue the corners together. This stuff is amazingly strong after holding in place for 20 seconds they are completely bonded even under pressure of stretching around the glass. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 I need to let these cure for a few days then will have a go at installing them with the old cord trick so fingers crossed they work out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
