Build Manual
Daft Lad Picko - 8/12/05 at 08:22 PM
Picked the RT+ kit up on Saturday (3/12/05) along with a host of other bits. Have managed to squeeze them all into my garage and am looking forward to
the build......between buttering the missus up and changing kids shitty nappies!!!!
Marc I have sent you an e-mail to MNRSportscats@btinternet.com regarding the build manual, there seems to be a couple of versions on the go, which
give different routes for the brake pipes etc.
I also have an issue with my rear calipers, details on the e-mail.
At last.....thank god my first post is over.

I routed my brake pipes under the reverse box mounting in the tunnel. DO NOT DO THIS. IT is almost impossible to fit P clips, to bend the fuel pipe
satisfactorily and to fit the prop centre bearing.
Route the wiring loom over the top of the transmission tunnel hoops if you want it to fit.
Fit the pedals to the box BEFORE fitting the aluminium panels. You'll wish you did.
Otherwise, take it easy and have fun. It does all fit together and it looks very nice when you've finished.
One last tip. Buy a dremmel.

Cheers fellas, looks like I really need to think carefully about the routing of the pipes etc. Steve, may very well take you up on that offer, we can
always meet at the Redbeck and chat over a greasy fry up!
Howlor - 8/12/05 at 09:04 PM
Redbeck fry up sounds good. Inly 5 mins away. I've always said that if I keep them arteries lubed then nowt else should stick!

hi neil it did come through apart from pics, ignore the build manual on the web thats the old one the one on cd i gave you is the correct one
the web is currently being redesigned so will have that version removed and the one you have on disc hosted instead
best regards

Ooh, that sounds familiar - mine is 6 days old so occupying just about every waking second. Rather pleased I dont yet have the kit in the garage cos
I wouldnt be able to do much about it!!
Keep us up to date with the progress as I know there are a few of us following in your R1 footsteps in the next few months.

not a build manual as such, but my diary has been following the progress of my build.
its alarmingly empty over the past 3 months as ive had a lot of work issues and no cash so things have been going -ultra- slow, but it should be okay
as reference for the early stuff 
there is some extra stuff to go in, i need to get it updated. all the little bits ive been doing recently when i get a chance. the engine is in, the
plumbing is 90% done, and an exhaust manifold arrived yesterday so thats going in soon.
then a bit ( 
) of wiring and hopefully it'll be able to sing!
my diary is linked below

Marc, I received the 60 page, 26 stage version, which should go some way to helping me get started. More so than the 13 page and 39 page, 8 stage ones
I had before!

Marc,
As discussed, I will pick it up along with the remaining bits e.g. manifold, once they are ready. Just give me a ring and I will pop over a.s.a.p.

Hi,
This thread seems a little bit old but I hope somebody will read it. I started my build two days ago based on few sites and general locost info but a
build manual would really help (to speed up the process at least). I wonder if anybody could send it to me (if it's not waaaaaay to huge) ? Or
maybe it would be possible to download it from somewhere (having access to broadband connection this shouldn't be a problem).
Thanks guys.
Cheers,
Michal
