EXOCET BUILD GUIDE SUGGESTIONS Rev 2

[tlight]

Stuart,

Further manual updates...

The retractable seat belts are mounted using the original parts and 8 off 7/16 UNF Nyloc Nuts.

Bolts used in structural areas should be of grade 8.8 or better. Such bolts will be marked 8.8 or 12.9 on the hexagonal head, however, cap-head bolts or 7/16" ( 11mm ) UNF seat belt anchorage bolts (with an anodised finish) not marked in this way may normally be considered to be of equivalent strength. Bolts should be M8 or larger.

Items that noted that Mk 2.5 donor differences will need watch out for;

Do not attempt to remove the ABS harnesses from the wheel hubs, unless you are prepared for sheared bolts and drilling and tapping fasteners out + plus the sensors are expensive to replace.

You will need to modify the mid exhaust hanger to mount on the rear sub frame.

Modify the rear ABS Wiring Harness brackets to clear the rear wheel Wing Stay (Front).

Cut the rings of the front anti roll bar prior to painting (or re-fitting to the Exocet) as you will find they do not align.

The bonnet will need to be modified (either the bonnet has to be lifted or a hole cut in the bonnet) to clear the VVT valve on the Cam Cover.

I'll add other points as i find...
