Very interesting
so have you considered instrumentation ? omega clocks or will there be some complex wiring to work out to use MG dash or again an aftermarket solution ?
Omega clocks?? No room for them, don't have them, too much hassle trying to get them to work, as the only bit that works off the ECU loom is the rev counter. MGB wiring is
very simple, with a cable driven speedo, 4 cylinder rev counter and a capillary oil pressure gauge.
And the Omega speedo is driven off the ABS sensors, not the gearbox.
So we're going to use aftermarket to make it easy:
RALLYDESIGN That gets around all of the issues of mismatched sensors to the gauges, keeps all the gauge faces looking the same(a mix of cheap used gauges looks shit) and gets everything working quickly. Not expensive either.
The crossmember notch was necessary for the pulley, but Ian did insist on doing the welding with a 90amp gasless Mig. A coat of paint and the air intake over the top will deal with the aesthetics
I'll install the pickup for the speedo into the prop to gearbox adapter.
