I am startng to work on piecing back together the wiring on my racer, as it was pretty buggered up when I bought the car. To give me a clean foundation, I purchased a "race" Rover loom (for Stack instruments) from CC, but they couldn't give me a schematic for that particular loom. Also, the connector that joins the chassis harness to the engine harness has an entirely different connector, and CC could not source me a new engine loom (EU2). Does anyone have schamtics for either the EU2 engine loom on the Rover race chassis loom? Cheers, Aric

HI Dave! I sent Arnie and blatmail message (user name EFA?). Thanks for the tip!

Here's a link to Myles' sexy cover: http://www.alcester-racing-sevens.com/cambelt_cover.htm

Myles' plate is a much more elaborate affair, and essentially replaces the entire factory assembly, with a bit less protection, but a lot more panache!

Hello Myles! Nice to make your acquaintance! You wouldn't happen to have the template, prototype, or CNC pattern for the cam belt cover plate you built for your Seven available, would you? I'll make it worth your while if you do! Cheers, Aric

Jonathan, Do you know what his user name on this site is? I tried emailing his website email address and it bounced back. Cheers, Aric

Thanks for the quick response Mark! The front cover area has been a sore point for me on the build. Since I'm using a VVC head, I need VVC covers, which are competely unobtainium as far as I can see, for a full set and one that is not beat to hell at least. I'm inclined to build my own snazzy ally plate cover to address most of the debris issues I may see, we'll see how that goes...something similar to what I've seen on various BTCC racers and very much like a bloke that maintains his own Seven blog site, Alcester Racing, has done. Thinking to myself, I wonder if he's on here? Maybe I can nab a pattern off of him? As as for the mount, it will be removed regardless of what I end up doing for a cover, and it's in place now only as a convenient hoist / lift location. I know it came in handy when the engine can out of the car for sure. thank you for the tip on Redline oldbutnotslow - I'll be sure to check them out. Oilyhands - is that you Dave? Aric

Hello all! This is my first post on the forum. I'm in the (un)enviable position of building up a new K Series lump for my S3 from across the pond in Michigan, USA. The engine is going together quite nicely (see pic)! http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j24/Aric_Streeter/Seven6_zps00ee9899.jpg Most parts were sourced from Dave Andrews and DVA Power, aside from a few reused parts from the previous engine in the car (a 1.4L SS K-Series), I'm uprating the dry sump from the purple to gold spec CC kit with the bellhousing tank, I purchased a whole kit of parts from CC, who, I must say, were not very helpful in figuring out what I needed. Suffice to say, there are a few head scatchers for me, with the one remaining one being this: http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j24/Aric_Streeter/IMG_2152_zpsa01c8bc0.jpg I haven't messed with the bellhousing / tank yet other than to remove the fill plate readying it for the conning tower setup, and I venture to guess this may be for the tank feed to the pressure pump? Any hints? Cheers, Aric
