Question for the chaps who have fitted LevenTech parts.

Are most of the LT parts easy to fit? The handbrake for example, looks like it would be pretty easy. Just wondering whether I will do it myself or get someone to do it.

I've got just about everything for the Chimaera fitted to mine (including the handbrake), and mostly yes, dead easy. Trickiest was the column stalks, as you had to cut through the originals. Instructions are generally clear, and I've heard said they are helpful on the phone if you get stuck - but its so easy I don't have any personall experience of that!

All easy to fit, as long as you take time and care.

Pedals can be a swine, but only becuase of the tight space, and the fact that you get dizzy from basically being upside down in the footwell

dash wasnt much fun, but the good folk at levern were super nice on the phone (even tho the chap was trying to have a day off at brands) and it looks kickass now.

and in fairness, its hardly leverns fault that a) the dash is a pig to remove and b) im fecking useless.

get the dash kit Mar, it really looks fab

Your motor is extremely tasty there Nervous. Can you post a pic of the dash? What was the damage to the wallet and how long did it take you to install?

ill take some for you tommorow mate, only fitted it sunday. wanst easy, but them im a spanner of the highest order.

it cost about 100 quid-ish, totally worth it though, transformed the look of the car on the inside. if you want to justify getting somebody else to do it for you, do a search and on the whiny, b***hing, griping thread i had on here a couple of days ago. presto chango, good intentions gone!!

actually, what am i saying, mate your minted!! get some other sucker to wreck their forearms

mail me your e-address and ill pop you over some pics when the sun comes up.

best wishes bud,
n.

p.s are you bringing the cerb to FB-5K?

edited to cahnge swear word back to something less weird than blob-ing

Unfortunately, I am stuck in Mexico. Had my spanking new black Motorola V3 nicked and have missed 2 flights, had the Amex stolen and a host of other dodgey things. Totty is phenomenal though so that's alright

Car is going out to Los Angeles too. Trying to see if I can do LeMans but will be in the Fezza if I make it.

Worse places to be I guess. But you lucky swines are able to drive your P&J. Me too, in a bit, with any luck.

There you go nervous. quote me to see what I've done.
The link I used is right click, properties from your photo page.


I can concur on the pedals being a PITA but they do look good though.

Dash looks fantatic, congrats.

What was the thread you had up when you changed it yourself. I like to get to know my motors as well as I can you see and seeing as I am not Joospeed, the dash and other interior bits might be a safe start.

is there a space after the address? Maybe that is why it is not coming up properly

Nerv, Was it the Metal Dash you fitted over the wooden? Sorry to be thick, but looks standard except for the Duck Plate around the switches & Dials.

Mine now has a Leven H/Brake & Cigerette Lighter (both ez to fit) Pedals fitted by previous owner - don't think I'll do the Vents, I think the Black 1's work with my Biscuit Hide.

hello mate

no the wooden upper dash and heater oblong bit have to come off, and then are replaced with the new metal ones. if there had of been a way of placing them over the top, trust me, i would have gone for it

for some reason the lower dash was already metal, now they sort of match. i like it much more in there now, its much less like a shitty old jag (hello jsg)

get it done, you know you wanna. ill muck in if you want

but you dont want
