Car is basically done now, and I've booked mapping on the 29th!
Wiring sorted in the corner, no longer are the plugs being pulled against a few wires that would have broken in time. Took a little while to pull the old covering off, un tangle and re-route a few things. But vastly improved to say the least and everything is secure and has an appropriate feeling of slack and give that nothings going to break.
To this: I used some proper Tesa loom tape, I like the fabric stuff to work with more than the plastic style.
Decided to do the Jenvey linkages and levers myself - postage wanted best part of £100 to send insured, and given my luck I'm not sending it without insurance! Wasn't too bad at all, I'd done a linkage before on my Rallye, but the lever was very simple once I'd bought a 1/16 imperial allen key (quite why they couldn't stick with metric who knows?!).
It is certainly better with the additional linkage on, probably not oem grade like the dbw pedal but certainly a better solution than the previous bit relying on the butterfly springs only.
Throttle stop installed too, fairly nervous was to where the drill bit was going to come through - but it's very clear and easily accessible in the wheel well. No pic sorry but literally nothing to catch on if anyone is doing this themselves. Taped up around the hole and a piece over the inside and stuck several coats of zinc primer and top coat to avoid any rusting, also used silicone around the washer and bolt head arch side when poking them through for good measure.
It's basically a bolt and washer tightend from each side agaisnt the floor to hold the bolt in place:
And then the Renault Sport stopper and another bolt against it to set the height and lock it all in place:
Also put another flange nut at the bottom above the carpet - serves no purpose other than acting as a finishing trim.
Came up with a solution for the way the batter positive lead fits too. Given the bulky red plug never sat very well on the M6 stud of the Odyssey, I've secured a 3 post junction box to the battery tray. The 2 outer posts are perfect spacing for the holes on the red plug - they just need opening out very slightly. Then bend the contact from the red plug out 90deg and slide over - sits very nicely and just needs a short battery lead about 25cm to go from the middle post to the battery terminal.
I'll get a better pic once all finished once I've picked up a cable.
I think the last thing I did was put some plastic honeycomb mesh under the holes in the bumper, looks a lot more finished and will stop any large stones from going through. Looks better from a distance (where you don't notice it basically) but I only have this close up pic for now.
