Kiwi,

Damn your front reg plate is low.. how do you keep that on?

I see your bud runs without one, does he get hassled by the law?

BTW, the laser cutgrill plate... is that the current one, I thought you did a big plain 7 without the Birkin name.

What is the story on the red car, looks good.It is one of the few 7 reps I have seen without any bonnet vents at all???

Is there a way that you have seen to mount the front cycle wings without the mounting bolts sitting on top?

On my q's..I dont want to take this thread away from what it is ( it really looks great) so message /email is fine.

TY

Hi BunnyS1

 

The reg plate is on S/S hinges so pulls back if you go over a bump or 50kmh :) so it cant get knocked off, if you need some pictures I can email you how I did it.

 

My mate is running on car dealer plates so inst required to have one at the front, he must register his car in the next 2 months though and will then require one.

 

The current laser grill plate is one I had cut for a customer in Australia who owns a 2007 Birkin, when I sent it him we discoverd that Birkin had change the nose cone a wee bit and it didn't fit as the pattern was taken from mine, so I had min send it back with a paper pattern of his grill and cut him a new one and I kept the one that didn't fit, I change over to the other one every now and then.

 

The Red car is a McGregor Mach7 (http://www.mcgregormotorsport.co.nz/) they tend not to put vents in their cars as they tell the owners when they wash their cars the engine gets wet and they have to take the bonnet off and then dry the engine off if they want it to stay looking good underneath the bonnet.

 

I have seen a way to mount cycle guards with having to bolt through the top I will try to dig some pics up for you and email them to you or post them in the tech section.

.......Is there a way that you have seen to mount the front cycle wings without the mounting bolts sitting on top?.....

 

On my (older Birkin), there are two M4 mounting studs on top and two at the rear of the wing laminated in. Not visible inside the fiberglass, but from the small hump on the inside I suppose they are welded to or threaded into a thin steel strip.

 

This is very strong, I have torn up a fender at one time, cracking in various places, but the mounting bolts stayed put. Completely invisible outside.

 

I know some Caterham owners have used so-called Bighead bolts glued to the fiberglass.

JohnCh,

 

I recognize those Sevens! Your action photo had to have been taken on that blistering-hot day that I ran with no top, and ended up in the Emergency Room in Weaverville (I just received the hospital's bill yesterday).

 

I learned that on that trip, and running with top up to avoid heat exhaustion, I had to take all of my action photos through the windscreen, and early in the day before the bug-splatter began to smear my forward view...

 

I am attaching two photos from that trip, one from the PCH Hwy. 1, and the other from a point a bit further north... not "great" photos, but evocative of the particular moment.

Here are three Seven photos shot less than an hour ago, taken into the teeth of a 50 mph autumn gale blowing down Turnagain Arm, Alaska. It was hard to drive and hold the camera steady over the windscreen, in that wind -- but I couldn't shoot through the windscreen, because salt spray from the whitecaps had completely coated it.

 

Perhaps these are not "calendar"quality...but they show that Autumn is nearly finished already, up here...There is new snow on the mountaintops, and very soon the Seven will be tucked away for a long winter nap.

Tom.

 

I am very glad to see you are driving the Seven again. I heard speculation yesterday that you would probably never drive it again, that the Seven would disappear into your shop never to be driven again. I see that is not the case. It makes me very happy to see you have it on the road again.

Skip,

 

Yes, but it is still "damaged goods."

 

Tom

 

I understand it is painful having such damage on a new car. But see it in perspective...a few years down the road with some more incidents you just will recognize it as the first of the battle scars.

 

My Seven has plenty of that and each one is a memory :rolleyes:

Have to agree with slomove

Here is a photo of just one of those incidents that occured with my car earlier this year while out on a drive with a group of folks. Sure messed up my day.

Martin that's a battle scare to remember what did you hit ???.

 

At the end of one of those large plates of steel they place over trenches in the road and then place asphalt on the edges to hold it into place, the asphalt had pushed up due to the plate having moved and that caused a large bulge in the area that the wheel tracks had not recompressed and was six inches tall. I will PM you with more photos so as to not hi-jack this thread.
