I am making an effort to get hold
of all the components to make the car before I receive
the kit, starting with the wheels. I have opted for 16"
multi spoke black
rims
with 195 45 R16 Toyo Tyres. I think they will look mint!
The colour of the car panels are going to be British Racing
Green with a Silver Grey Chassis.

Sparco Steering Wheel & Momo
Steering Boss/ Hub. |
|

Vapor Digital Dash from Rally Design.
This is a complete Vapor installation kit. It comes with
Vapor computer, RPM sensor, Temperature
sensor , Speed sensor and I have also ordered the
optional warning light surround as shown above.

Wilwood front brake caliper
upgrade and upgraded vented front brake discs. |
|
|
|
Alloy Brake/ Clutch Pedal Assembly
with Balance Bar & 3 Master Cylinders.
|
|
A little boring really, Stainless
Steel Piano Hinge for the engine & bonnet covers. |
|
|
|
I had to find a separate Single
Fan Radiator Assembly as my Donor Focus had air conditioning
(twin cooling fans) which unfortunately means the radiator
was to large to fit.
|
|
Lighting Set with wiring loom and
fuses/relays, SVA ready.
|
|
|
|
Homemade Digital fuel
level gauge. I have started making the display and
the actual control box will be made shortly. The electronic
circuit has been taken from www.mez.co.uk and is also
used by
an
other
'MEV Rocket'
Owner.

Kevin & Maureen
Proffitt kindly leant me their van so that I could pop
over to Mansfield and collect the Rocket Kit from MEV.
They provide industrial nails & nail guns to the
building industry. www.nailituk.com |

I guess this is the main part of
the Rocket kit. There were a couple of upgrades which
I asked Stuart to arrange, the chassis was to be powder
coated silver / grey and I wanted the optional seamless
tube Roll Cage. I feel the only colour for a sports car
is British Racing Green, so that was the colour. The
new type aero dynamic fenders where the first produced
by MEV's production line.

Other parts supplied in the kit included
the front wheel hubs, shocks, springs and bush's etc. Too
many parts to list really.

And the suspension parts, all manufactured
in house by MEV. |
