Are fumes coming in via gaps in the gearbox cover ? Paul

Thanks Phil . Your info makes sense . Just testing the new air blower and the pressure is quite fierce . After a spraying session did you leave the blower on for a while ? Appreciate your input Paul

I’ve got one . Very light and not deep so fits easily . I think the bracket I bought to fit under the dash cost more than the radio ! Radio works fine and great value for money . I guess the price has gone up now I think mine was about £15 Paul

Hi Phil , I’m in the process of building an inner spray booth like yours . Just purchased this blower 10ins fan I’m following your principle of positive pressure and the blower will be outside of the garage with a filter together with ducting going into the spray booth . The booth with have an extraction ducting 8 ins diameter which will be opposite the blower intake & will then go into the garden. My questions are 1 . should the blower intake be floor level or spray level . To me the latter makes sense . 2 my exhaust will be opposite to the intake . Is this best position ? Thanks Paul

If you meant the pump I thought it had to be horizontal Paul

Vertically as has a ball bearing in the top . In a crash the ball bearing pops out and breaks the power Paul

Bolted to the side panel by the battery . Wired inline on positive side and protected by 10am fuse Paul

I didn’t fit a relay though it’s has a 10am fuse . From memory it uses 5 to 8 amps Paul

Yes I have installed an inertia switch from I think a Peugeot . Looks like this pic Paul

I have the HUCO 13001 fuel pump and can recommend it Paul

The choke on my CDSE’s is on the front carb . Is this wrong ? Paul

I see you have a dished steering wheel , although I have MGF seats in a Vitesse Saloon ( more access ) i also have a 13" flat steering wheel , changing should give you more room ? Paul

In addition to jacking the sump i loosened the offsite engine mount . Paul

Has anybody fitted one of these to a smiths heater ? Paul

Another vote for Lidl impact wrench . Mine is 240v and cost £30 a couple of years ago , prices have risen though still worth the money Paul

Hi Colin the 3/8 threaded bar . This if AF ? Paul

Hi Phil , re extraction didn’t know if there was an explosion risk with the blower and vapour / motor sparks Paul

Thanks Pete I am using an HVLP gun though some of the overspray will be down to my in experience Paul

Hi Phil . Thanks for advice and the comments preferring extraction over pressurising as I might be able to do this . My setup is an SIP oil free compressor which is low noise 57db with Deviblis entry level HVLP gun currently set at 28psi. I’m sure a lot of the overspray ( turns into paint dust and currently settling everywhere ) is down to my inexperience . Perhaps an obvious ? Can your air mover safely be used for extraction as well as pressurising . Paul

This is my solution for my Vitesse using a s/h Hoover pressure switch Paul

Hi Phil . With your spray booth set up does the positive pressure reduce / eliminate overspray / misting ? Also the exhaust is there a noticeable smell from the vapours and enough to annoy neighbours . I’m looking at a similar setup though based on your info looking at a 10 ins fan Paul
