Well I’ve only had my car out once but I was very impressed with it, literally use the clutch off the line and never touch it again until stopping. Blips were perfect too!
@Rob I’m not familiar with that one but it could be the cable, I’m using a rod setup and my sensor etc is on the horizontal rod before the pivot. Having previously used a cable and the feel with the rods is so much better.

Trying to Tick Jobs off the List once and for all..
Finalised the Cradle for carrying the Fuel Tank, Alloy straps Made straps up and installed / hung from the Chassis legs.
I think, I can call the Fuel system complete, nice clean floor, one little cover required for over the inlet / outlets
Also had a Spherical Bearing on the steering column wasn't dying about the finished look of it.
Had this Piece of Alloy Milled down roughly and Oilite bush pressed in.
Abit of fitting with the file to adjust the profile and it slots in nicely...
Paint soon

I'm still stunned how cool this thing is even in the rough like this, off all scales
@Rob as the other guys have said... there must be an issue with the wiring or the load sensor (or there may be adjustment on the sensor ?)
i have the flatshifter pro on my Jedi (K5 GSXR engine) and its awesome.... flat up and blip down.... and mine is on cable (via stick shift) works perfect

I'd take the car too, not just the paint

Just spent a couple of days reading through this. Given that it’s a sentimental build I understand your patience!!
Really looking forward to seeing the end result, as I’m sure you are.
It puts the year I’ve spent resurrecting the MG B into perspective.

Thanks Chaps,
The car is packed up now and getting shipped off tomorrow
for its final Tick list of fabrication Odds and Ends & 1st Fix of wiring loom, fuse boxes, switch panels etc.
A couple of weeks should see it ready for Media Blasting and Paint.

I cannot seem to find someone who is willing to blast, clean down and Prime the shell in the one day.
Having spoken to Blairs Bodyshop, the aim is now to have it blasted in the Morning (somewhere), Loaded into the Shuttle and delivered to them in Doagh for Priming in the afternoon.
There also seems to be a huge Variation in what people are charging aswell, My Shell has been blasted before, all the sealer and guff has been removed a long time ago so its a straight forward job & I can supply a split.
Any suggestions for Media Blasting Handy to Belfast?

There's a boy out in Downpatrick who quoted me £300 then another guy out in Hilltown who does mobile 'dust-free' blasting. He quoted me £200. I went to some rogue out in Newry who did it for £100 but that's because I didn't need some fancy 'media blast'
