    Now comes the installation of the hardware. This little beaut' is a Clark Industries Tactile Transducer. I'm running a separate sub-woofer amp on a "Y" lead from the pc sound jack.

    I was going to go with an overhead projector but the result was pretty poor. Much better with Matrox Triple and three screens. This will be for the screens, left center and right front speakers to mount to-

    Roll bars still to fit - but the local spanish stainless steel pirates at Santa Ponsa wanted 150 euros :eek: for two end pieces of SS 30mm tube 600mm long bent to shape. they ain't comin' to the party thats fo' sure

    Eagle eyed folks will notice the changes to the gear lever assembly. Interesting point number one - I didn't seem to fit :mad: Had to move the backrest back by a few inches and jigsaw out the sidewall and fit the lever in true '49 style.

    Furthermore the G-25 wheel doesn't invert easily. For American folks with lawyers as friends please take note - "Do not try this at home!" ;) Those clever people at Logitek didn't think about that. The cable conduits to the paddle shifters are offset to the center of the wheel spokes. Perhaps I will strip it down later and see if I can invert the steering wheel boss rather than just the wheel.

    This is the most difficult part of the whole operation. Many little jobs to do......and I play......and play..............AND PLAY !

    DISCIPLINE ALY !!!!!! :rolleyes:

    August here is pretty hot and during testing the 'pit gets really hot and sticky. After pondering many ideas I came to the simplest solution. This small bathroom ventilator does the trick perfectly. Keep the air moving and a gentle breeze over the drivers face.

    Now if I fitted twin fans......and could link them to turn to the speed of the car...................... ;) ;) ;)
