That's the 240volts that go though the shifter if anyone tries to steel it Nar its the air ride switch hooked to the handbrake.

i though that was where the gimp key was kept (wired to 240v)

hahahaha now your talking

some more updates, glued some rubber for the kick panel and got the bus fully engineered!! He was dam happy with all the mods!! At least now I don't have to look over my shoulder.
One thing I didn't know was those whitewall flappers are not passable which is a shit as real white walls not come in the right tyre size I need so its plastidip spray paint for now. Anyhow now its booked for the roady and hopefully rego next week. Then its watch this space as the new project has started

MMMMMMMMMM, Looking good Nik

Need more engine pics, what are you running

He is running a pobjoy dual 1916.

But I am confused now. Are you not also running a full vintage speed system?
Are have you kept the stock heater boxes? - Hence the flexy silver tube.

I suppose it makes a lot of sense. Much colder where you are.

Looking s*&t hot by the way. Love the interior selections and the fire extinguisher location that resulted from your tubs is clever.

Congratulations Niko,great achievement getting everything signed off by the engineer
Fantastic work and well deserved

Cheers,
Pete

Only if you grind in to the tyre as that takes off the specs and weakens the tyre wall , if you just paint over the tyre as is its ok, engineer said too.

awesome news be interested to see how the bagged setup drives

thats good to know

Hey niko

Which engineer did you use?

I'm at a very similar stage with mine and need to get some engineering done!

Yours is looking amazing! can't wait to see it at the shows! A real head turner and show winner for sure!
