Just take the orange wire from the instruments to ground. No resistors needed Headlights and IVA Some people have passed IVA with the headlights, others have not. Rotating the lens may help, but it appears the discretion of the IVA tester is a factor as to whether these pass or not. text/html 2025-01-21T17:40:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://exocet.uk/doku.php/lighting_instruments?rev=1737481246&do=diff Lighting & Instruments Lighting positions are very important. The light emitting surfaces of the headlights have to be a minimum of 500mm from the ground. All lights except fog and reverse need to be within 400mm of the edge of the wings. Rear lights need to be a minimum of 350mm from the ground.

However many builders will use the opportunity to refresh the engine as it's easily accessible, it makes servicing it even easier. As a minimum it's recommended to change the usual service items, timing belt, water pump, oil, spark plugs, and filters. text/html 2024-02-05T14:42:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://exocet.uk/doku.php/fuel_tank?rev=1707144169&do=diff Fuel Tank If you are looking for more information about running the fuel lines see Brake / Clutch / Fuel Lines The MX5 fuel tank fits under the rear cover.

This builder made a tray to load all the wiring into including those wires that are not needed. Make sure that all connections are clean and tight and that they are secured properly ensuring no cables can contact moving or hot parts and that rubber lined P clips or plastic ones are used. If cables pass through an alloy panel then you should use a proper grommet to protect the cable. P clips should be a maximum of 200mm apart. text/html 2024-02-05T14:47:44+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://exocet.uk/doku.php/bodywork_mirrors?rev=1707144464&do=diff Bodywork & Mirrors Bonnet lock down There are various fittings on the market from bonnet pins to flush catches and Dzuz type fasteners.
