But I didn't actually go, was it any good ?

Hmm tempted

I have a truck cab and my hips have decided being squashed up is no longer for them. Step 1 bucket seats to rx8 seats is done but that’s not enough so I’m going to move my megasquirt from behind the seat get another 3cm then off with the truck cab roof to some sort of softy thing. I have a bikini top although that may have shrunk (make your own jokes up on that one). then if that’s still not enough it will be the bulkhead to go. I was thinking whole thing out and put a bar in but looking at it you don’t seem to get more seat room than the bulkhead reduction kit. is it about the same seat space between them and any suggestions about either one please?

When I did it I was like oh no all the permanently on electrics… that I don’t have. Still if the megasquirt had died that would be sad face.

So mad rush to get on with it, I might have ever so slightly connected my new battery slightly back to front. Bit of spark and popped it round the other way. Alternator is still putting out 13.7, stereo blew the fuse but is back after replacement and engine still good to start so while I wouldn't recommend it seems that I did come away somewhat okay from that.

I did mine from hard top to soft top (bikini) before going to truck cab although I am eyeing that canvas up once more…..

I have Ender 3v2 that I’ve added to. I have a creality enclosure as the printer lives in the garage and recommend a little foam filament cleaner stop dust getting on the filament into the hot end. I’ve got leds and a camera on it, switched it to klipper with a pi. As with landy make sure it’s set up well and square and all adjusted correctly (sure you will but as this is a general thread tips thread). I’ve printed alignment aids with it. I want a hole in a certain spot every time model and print it as the printer is accurate. I am eyeing and adapter for the snorkel hole on my wing to print. Vacuum connectors handy to do. Control boxes another item. I use f360 and unit maker slicer but lots of got stuff out there. I’ve done broken plastic things - scissor handle, battery cover. Take a picture import into 360 and draw round the missing pieces. hope you have lots of fun with it.

Is there an idle control valve in the mix? I had trouble with mine on its response settings I think.

The auto box will shift to a higher gear let’s say when it wants to. Now sometimes you might want to stay in a gear longer with the higher revs. In a manual no problem just don’t change up. In the auto you need to tell it with those numbers which says don’t go higher than this gear. So any time to might want to stay in a gear in a manual you can use the numbers to do it in an auto. Cases I use or for are off road when I don’t want to go too fast and hill decent. Maybe towing up a hill but you also have kick down which if you floor the throttle tells the auto box this gear is nice but how about we go for a lower one. For some land rovers this results in a change in noise but not actually a change on speed but that’s probably for another thread 🙂

Warping inside the car or engine bay with pla will be a risk. You can always pay a print shop to do it on abs for you.

3D prints don’t have to be full of voids and gaps. I’ve done prints I’ve run water through. PLA is a bit low melting point so while I m not sure it uv degrades as much as some suggest I did leave a pla lid in my conservatory and it did warp a bit, but something a like abs will likely handle it. I would try it. You can always send the design for a 3D print shop to do in a given material if it fits with pla.

Shows onboard gps as optional for that so I assume yours doesn’t have it. What software are you thinking of using and what do you want out of it? google maps will take a pin drop and get you places but wants a data connection. I would tether to my phone but need a signal. I would think external gps and good to go but just guessing.

If it’s a charity thing then that’s fine. Makes for a taking point which is probably half the reason.

I think someone did a super charging the heater thread. I don’t think anything is particularly near it.
