fly-eye is like a tinting film for lights only it's like a mesh that sticks on. search it in google it should come up.

Nearly a nikon, a Fujifilm S2 Pro, Sigma 10-20, 18-55, 55-200, 70-300 all F-mount lenses. Used to be right into photography when i used to do 'urban exploration' but dont have the time these days lol

Ah, thought fly eye was a term for too many flies splattered on the glass! :lol:

Sigma 10-20 is an awsome lense. Your photo talent shows. You use photoshop to edit?

Fly-eye will probably come off tomorrow and i'll try and get those mirrors in :/

Also ran some injector cleaner through tonight, might make it run better. New Coil and leads coming soon, soon being when i have the cash

Got some stickers in the post today:

Image
They are silver

Also found that my exhaust center box bracket has completely failed and the whole system is suspended by the downpipe and backbox hangars :/
Will be thinking of some way of temporarily fixing it for now until i can fabricate a new bracket

Took some photos too but left the camera in the car lol

Cheers!

Little update, The bracket that holds the exhaust on at the centrebox completely failed a few days ago so last night i tried to secure it again.

Started out with 2 plates of steel in the hope i could put one above the torque tube, one under the exhaust and bolt them together. This unfortunately didn't work as the bolts i had were way too short and i was determined to do it THEN!

There are 2 hooks either side of the transmission tunnel just next to the centre box so i got a piece of cable similar to this:

Image

just without the clip thing

Image

Got it hooked round both exhaust and torque tube very tight so it is now held ok for now. Only problem being it still can rotate, which it has meaning where the exhaust goes round to the n/s it is a few inches low. Also as a result of this my backbox is banging off the axle and has been damaged as such:

Image

Only blows a tiny bit but may be getting a DTM style twin upswept backbox fitted soon (because its cheap and will suit the 80's look)

Also got another sticker for the glovebox lid from australia via ebay:

Image

Took all the Fly-eye off now after some peeled off. Will be getting more though.
Also going to be geting a new coil and HT leads to try and make the motor run a bit smoother and start better
