I like that washer jet mate, done I assume so you don't have to cut a hole in the bonnet
When are you expecting to fire it up ?, and how long before it has some working brakes ?

well i wasnt going to bother with washer jets but as the hole was spare it would be rude not to well...fire up date seems further away each time i go to the car ..fitted the ecu into the carbon panel but can only get one fixing under the dash so now need to make something to hold it in place working brakes...well i really think nath has lost all interest in the car now he has a women was meeting him down the car the other day for the first time in about 4 months but he called to say he wasnt allowed out to play so god knows on the pedal box

it has 4 nozzles ..normal FIA regs are two to engine bay and one to each foot well..so thats how ill do it..hopefully if there ever is a fire the hand held will sort it out but saftey first. also a quick release steering wheel hub is on its way as the cabin would be a mare to get out of quickly because of the seats and the door bars.

Re: project:UFO
Sounds good
I always think its best not to rush a project too, as you will end up taking shortcuts that you will regret when the project is done
