Re: Fostek's R&D department

Sorry folks, I know we are overdue on updates but just not getting much time on the car. Here are few recent bits.
Main thing is that its down on proper 9 x13" wheels and the spoiler, doors, boot and bonnet are all fitted.

Buttons on steering wheel are: left and right turn indicators, headlight flasher, horn, windscreen squirt/sweep, launch control, that sort of thing. Basically the stuff the driver might need to fiddle with on the fly, saves him having to look down at a switch panel. None of the steering wheel buttons are related to the dash (which is an MBE Dash) but the dash itself has buttons to scroll through the different pages, should you need to.

They look like the Dash2 buttons used to move through the various screen options.

Gearstick from McRaes's Focus!!?
Cool! That era of focus was one of my all time favorite rally cars of all time, mainly because of that stumpy gear change!

Re: Fostek's R&D department

You're spot on about the coiled wire. If you look very carefully the coil is just visible below the steering wheel and the coil goes forward to the connector with the red marker round it.
