Hi,

Revising a slightly older thread, but can anyone point me at some info of the Pace system? A friend has a box of bits, bought years ago, but I don't think he has a replacement sump pan - I presume it needs a new sump pan? If so, which one (what with the Caterham supply issues)

Thanks,

Phil

Going to do some rear Fog/Reversing - Don't have a price just yet, but they are a bit more complicated to make.

Any interest (not a lot on Facebook, so I'm not offended). I'm getting polished S/Steel for mine, but had a black sample one done to check the fit/sizes. Bit more complicated to fit as one of the wires is riveted to the bulb holder and will need to be cut-re-made).

Just trying to gauge interest at the moment...

Will only go on the rear panel as the back is open

Angled to match rear panel

That's right - they are a flat beam pattern, so not handed.

I thought everyone had one

I did have to adjust the ring on the head lamp to allow it to fit - only about 1mm on the diameter.

Have some further pictures: https://goo.gl/photos/a3hTuSVdmXwsWPYV6

Good luck with the delivery date and enjoy the build!

Diodes are easy, they are simply a one way valve for electricity. The only tricky bit is picking one big enough - I used a 100V 5A unit which has been fine. They just control the direction of current flow so you can have a couple of wires connected, but power doesn't flow back down wires you don't want it to (like back towards the rear lights or to the ignition from the side lights in this case).

Happy to help if advise is wanted - it's a very simple circuit and I've just soldered them inline with the wires I've added.

Hi Andy,

I do have some - I had a small batch made (10 pairs) but I haven't advertised them yet (too busy), as I'd had a couple of requests.

You are welcome to a set. If you PM me we can sort things out - but I've started a new online spreadsheet that I will keep up to date and also has payment details on (if using Paypal, please do a friend payment)

Cookie Monster -

Tom - They are not on in the pictures, they are just picking up on the nearby light. I haven't removed them, but will do this winter (as well as lowering the lights). The trouble is the mount covers the wiring, so I need to do something there. I also wanted to wait until it had had passed an MOT.

Nothing that you can compare with, no, sorry. It is a much whiter light than my old 'std' bulbs, and they are a lot brighter.

I've fitted those from the original post. I'm happy with them.

One thing you need to understand is that the indicators don't work unless you supply the halo all the time - i.e. if you don't run the halo, you don't get the indicators.

I decided to run them, and this means you need an ignition feed to the light. Then, in order to stop the rear lights coming on with just the ignition I put a diode in the feed from the light ciruit. A second diode was fitted in the ignition feed so that the side light switch didn't power the ECU.

You can get pretty close by measuring the spring and using a calculator:

You'll need the wire Ø, Free Length, Outside Ø of the coil and the number of active coils (i.e number of full coils)

Adil,

Hi Adil,

Ok - last black set sold to you. Seen your message but can't reply as it only 'lets you send 1 message per hour' FFS!

Welcome over any time by the way

Phil

Thanks Clive, Tom & Richard - appreciate the comments

Put a post in the For Sale section if anyone else wants some.

Yes I am - the message goes to the other person, I just don't think an email is being sent out to let them know. I know I'm not getting emails either, depsite getting new messages.

Hi,

Following the recent bulkbuy I've got a few pairs left over after payments failed to appear

So, I've currently got just 1 pair in s/steel - can be polished or plain for painting to match car

Before I stick them in the loft - anyone else want a pair? Price is £28.50 inc delivery in the UK.

(Julian - your request has been covered prior to this post )

Hi Alan - sorry, missed that key bit of info out! reply sent..

Email server looks to be broke as I don't get thread notifications either.

Cheers,

Phil

Hi,

Sent a couple of PM's just now and both times I've had a warning that there was an error sending email, but it says the message was sent.

Mail server issues?

Phil

Alan & MonkeBoy - messages sent - but do get an error about email sending, but it says messages have been sent.

Hi Julian,

Email on its way to you

Tony -

All units shipped yesterday - might have to avoid my little local shop for a few days!!
If they managed to process them they'll have gone last night, but I suspect some might not leave till today due to the quantity - I'm popping back in later to pay, can't beat that service!!

Just hope you are all happy. I have given the stainless steel ones a quick clean up, but they would probably benefit with a bit more time being spent.
Any issues, give me a shout.

Going for a lay down in a dark room!

I do have some spares from initial people not paying, so if you are interested - best to message me as the email will alert me.
