Re: Paul's k3
Looks like a cheeky arduino project. I still have not done mine yet. Custom board too very did you make the PCB yourself? Neil

Re: Paul's k3
hi this is my attempt to make a speedo calibrator using a arudino I used http://fritzing.org/home/ to make the board it work very well. I have made boards by hand in the past but this did a much better job all I have to do is write a program for it

Re: Paul's k3
Here is the data from the datalog All I have to do is work out what this means it looks like I get a 5v output from the gearbox which means I have to change my bord 0v (ground) input to a 5v input

Re: Paul's k3
5v sounds perfectly reasonable to me for a speed pulse output.
From memory the Honda setup is a trigger that is driven by a gear and worm gear off the diff, now the PG1 is basically a mirror image of the Honda box. Massive assumption here it may be around 4 pulses per revolution as on a Honda it is just over 4 pulse per rev.

Re: Paul's k3
I think the essay way round this is to use a wheel spacer It needs to be 10mm

Re: Paul's k3
hi all I thought this was going to be easy just put some 10mm wheel spacers on I do not like them and I can't find any with longer studs I think I have two ARB that look like the bottom ones in the photo it's not bent the same at the end that is why it hits so I was going to fit the one that came with my mgf subframe it looks like the one in the top of the photo nope that did not work the steering rack is in the way its the one for the back that came with the engine I could fit it so It faces forward and across the centre of the subframe like this in the photo but I have the radiator pipes in the way I will have to see if this will work if not its back to wheel spacers

The heater pipes were potentially an issue, but I remembered parts I used in work a long time ago and had made spacers between the ARB and heater tubes using Stauff clamps ( http://www.stauff.co.uk/products/pipe-clamps.aspx), which are used on industrial clean room installations. They worked a treat but they were in the boxes of bits when I sold the K3; otherwise, I would have sent them to you - I’m sure you can knock up something similar. J.

Re: Paul's k3
I keep finding more work looking at the two radiator pips that run a long the bottom of the car. it looks like they have been hiting the road and are all dented. I will have to take them of and see how bad they are and see is i need some new ones

Re: Paul's k3
I have found a fix for my ARB hitting the wheels when on full lock, in the end, I made a new bracket and moved the ARB forward and when change over to the Coil-overs brackets from peter they should still miss the ARB
