New Owner Questions

[StreetDragster]

Hi all,

I would like to apologise in advance if these are already answered on Noble parts or whatever, I don't have access yet, so don't have a build manual, (can anyone send me one?)

1) Where are the jacking and axle standing points?
2) Has anyone added centre air vents in the dash and if so, how?
3) Should the oil level be checked hot or cold?
4) How / Can you adjust the door hinges? The passenger door drops a little when opened
5) My heater controls don't seem to agree with the makings around the control (the knob stops before reaching the forward vent marking for example) is this normal or can it be adjusted?
6) Aside from the tunnel cooling mod, is there any other common mods to improve cabin airflow / cooling?

Thanks
Matt

your heater is either hot, of if the aircon works, cold, that's it,

if you open the window, unless you have done some other mods, on a hot day you can feel hot air from the radiator.

Hi Matt , answers as requested :

1. no specific jacking points but anywhere there is a chassis member is generally ok , do not jack on fiberglass or plain alloy panel with no chassis member behind it .
2. no seen anyone with center vents .
3. I generally check oil and water levels cold .
4. not sure you can adjust the hinges but the striker can be adjusted .
5. not sure to be honest , mine just seems to blow a bit of air any place it like

6 Tunnel mod will improve air flow in cabin a lot , well worth the upgrade .

hope that helps a bit . Tux

Just had a look at this thread and of all the threads I could have started!!!

jacking points are detailed in the manual, but generally pick somewhere that looks strong (where rivet lines intersect underneath)

My drivers door used to drop a bit and I managed to adjust the hinges from inside the car with door half open.
I supported the bottom of door with a trolley jack and a bit of old carpet to protect the paint, then loosened the 2 hinge bolts a couple of turns, jacked the door a few millimetres then re tightened the bolts.
Easy fix and been fine ever since!
The correct way to do it according to the build manual is to remove the quarter panel to get at the bolts but it is possible without doing this!
