Stripping it down.. AGAIN!


Back from the IVA, that evening I stripped the car, seats out, tunnel off, scuttle off.




Think the tester was a little heavy handed on the handbrake lever as its now bent..



Ok really heavy handed, he had bent the supports also.




Next up was trying to work out why the car is not charging. Jumped on youtube to check out some videos to try and test the rectifier and generator.



The generator was giving a good 25-35 volts per phase so this wasn't the problem. The rectifier also checked out fine but when plugged into the generator the output was not showing any volts out. 


 

Time to order another one.. 







The battery was charging well so not sure its anything to do with that.. It took a killing on the IVA day but think its still strong and to keep it going for 4 hours with no charge it must be man enough.


New rectifier ordered. 
New Handbrake lever ordered
Some handbrake pillars arranged by another owner (Thanks Jamie!) 
Some steel bar to strengthen the handbrake chassis mounts.
