my clutch problem is solved.
the end of the connecting rod from the clutch pedal to the master cylinder is adjustable. I extended it a few turns and now my friction point is at a sensible point above the floor!!
I am so relieved that I don't have to pull the gear box out.

now my next challenge is to find a connector for the reverse light and speedo sockets so that I can wire them up.
and also to figure out which of the 2 wires from the speed sender is which so that I connect it up to the ratio box correctly.

easy fix for the reverse lights. grab a auto loom from a vl 6 and it should plug in near the brake booster and just need to work out witch wires do the lights. ill try find out of ct what wires do the lights

 

[twr-92]

I know which wires from the loon need to run to the box, I just need a good connector to plug into the getrag box

 

[Sik_Cordz]

can you use some spade connectors maybe

 

[twr-92]

I read somewhere that someone used molex connectors. I have a male and female connector so I'll see what I can do with them. I should have sorted this put before putting the box in because I can't see inside the socket now

yeah mate my old man just used spade terminals on the box and ran them to the loom on the drivers side of the car that goes to the reverse lights,not sure how he done it i wasn't home though i will find out for you.

i found the right vss connector to fit my reverse switch today and I wired it up tonight.
I also found the right connector for the speed sensor, so now I should be able to wire that up to the ratio box, ecu and speedo.

currently working through a fuel problem. the high pressure pump sucks air. this was after putting about 10 litres in the tank. if the opportunity presents itself, i'll take the sender and low pressure unit out today to inspect it and see if there is a split hose or something.

 

[detox_nath83]

if ur getting air it will be between the low pressure and the high pressure pump as the hose becomes brittle and cracks

that's awesome news. I've got a heap of fuel hose I can use to repair that
