3SGTE Jig request thread.

[Marksman]

Howdy folks.

The 1st jig thread was getting a little long so I thought I'd start a new one just for booking the use of the TB 3SGTE into AW11 engine mount jig.

For those new to the 1.5 funhouse the jig is a bit of kit cobbled together between Paul and myself that allows engine mounts to be easily located into a MK1 chassis without the need to faff around putting the engine in first and lining things up. (Please note this is NOT suitable for "fat arsed, tartan travel blanket wearing, I should have been born an American" type V6 swaps, just the true bred 3SGTE goodness.)

The jig in use in MisterTwoKW's swap.

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2006/07/99.jpg

*** UPDATE, pre-cut engine mounts are now available and can be shipped with the jig upon request. Priced at £25 to big members. ***

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2006/07/100.jpg

Alternatively free downloadable engine mount templates are provided in this thread:-Templates (http://forums.twobrutal.com/showthread.php?t=1868&highlight=templates)
You can either cut these out yourself from plate, or hand the cad file straight to a machine shop.



The story of the jig can be found here:- Old thingymajig thread (http://forums.twobrutal.com/showthread.php?t=1843&highlight=thingymajig)

We don't really do terms and conditions at TB but I'm afraid there are a few for this one...

(01) A recipient must post a request on this thread, this will then be OK'd and the jig sent off. (If you would PM me a telephone number this would also be appreciated.)

(02) Please don't ship without an OK first. I'd also request that the sender also post when the jig has left their possession and the recipient to say that it's arrived safely.

(03) The jig must be shipped insured for at least £200. It has taken a long time to build, and its loss would be an inconvenience. A method of shipping requiring a signature is also a must. (To give an idea I was quoted £25 next day shipping inclusive of £250 insurance.) If handed over rather than shipped then please split previous shipping costs to minimise one person's expense.

(04) Big members only please.

(05) Please sign the jig with your name, user name, reg. no. and date after use. Pictures are always welcome!

(06) There is no charge for the use of the jig, Big Members have paid already. That said a donation of any size would certainly win friends and influence people! :poke2: :nunu: (Linky on the homepage.)

Right I think that just about does it, normal service will now be resumed.

Twas a pleasure to be the first to guinea pig test the jig ;) I can confirm that it is spot on perfect!!!

[Black Karmeleon]

Picked it up from the local post office today! Good on ya Ash.

Wandered to the car with the long sleek "sniper rifle" case, getting enquiring glances from the local's felt like i was in pulp fiction! :cool: Hav'nt got round to opening the box as i forgot to note down the unlock code >:( (very top secret!) :shhh: from my even more secretive Pm! lol

happy jig'avunting sir' :)

[superchargedsam]

am collecting this from Si this week as no one has asked for it next so have put my name down and will have it with me within the week all being well !

[Marksman]

Hokey dokey Sam!

If it's still free after you're done I might ask for it back for it's first service and upgrade.

Cheers all,

Owen.

[Shorty]

I would love to use this when the time is right. Will you ship this overseas? To Norway to be exact? This a long way out still but just to ask. BTW, awesome work! It looks fantastic.

Shorty

Hiya Shorty, well when I built it I decided that I was not prepared to let it out of the country, or let anyone with less than a couple of hundred posts have it, just in-case we never heard from them or saw it again. However you sound like just the sort of person we like on this forum so possibly an exception should be made... If you'd like to look into how much it would cost you to ship and how long it would take then we can go from there. (At the risk of causing offense I might ask for a deposit though.)

Let me know,

Owen.

[Mistertwokw]

Will definately be wanting to use this around decemberish, but will book it when i have an exact date, top piece of kit:thumbsup:

[Marksman]

No problem. This will not happen for a while so by that time i hope i have made my appearance to make myself worthy of shipping it out. Don`t even think about it now as it`s some time still before i get the engine etc. I have so much work to do before that time.

I actually thought i`d build my own bodykit. I`ve been hanging at this other board for a while and starting to learn a bit on how to do it.

Anyway, i`m glad you consider it now cause i`m sure when the time comes i will qualify:boogie:

Is paypal safe to use BTW. I thought i make an account and become a big member right away but i don`t like these kind of payments...

[Marksman]

Sure thing shorty. Maybe I'll just bring the jig when I drive your car to Norway. (joke.) Actually what are the rules on importing? Could I sell you "my" car for say ?200, and then it be all legal in your country, but with low taxes?

Oh, yes paypal is very good!

Good luck as ever.

Owen.

[matt dixey]

hi mate, not how to go about this but basicly things have moved very quick for my conversion and would like to know how to get the jig. many thanks.....

[Marksman]

Hiya Matt.

Glad to hear your swap is well under way.

Rules such as they are are stated in the opening waffle of this thread. I believe that Sam still has the jig and that there is no-one waiting after him so that would put you next in line. (If you'd care to drop him a Private Message to ask when he'll be done with it then we can go from there.) Oh and you'll have to stick your hand in your pocket to the tune of a tenner to extend your membership to full status, many thanks :thumbsup:

Have you got your mounts sorted?

All the best,

Owen.

[matt dixey]

cheers for that mate , paying up as we speak. mounts all done, back of my car all ready and the engine is ready and waiting to go in. just waiting for some brackets to return from the chromers:drool:

[Marksman]

Oooh, shiny. Should have said "Sam" is "superchargedsam", though with the amount he posts I'm sure you'll have come across the name :whistle:

Oh another condition of using the jig is plenty of pictures to be posted :beer:

All the best mate,

Owen.

[Mistertwokw]

Would like to put my name down next for use of the magic jig, could you give me a shout when your finished with it dixey?
ta

[matt dixey]

no probs mate, as soon as i get it the mounts will be done and dusted within a day or 2 so will be able to post it straight on to you..

[Mistertwokw]

Many thanks:thumbsup:

[Icsunonove]

Who has the jig now? I presume Owen has it back by now, is that right?

Anyway can I borrow it?

(I'll go and have a look at the terms and conditions and pay whatever is to be paid)

[superchargedsam]

Tom what you planning ?

Matt has the jig I believe (wekll he borrowed it after doing amazing job on my mounts for me top bloke he is !) then I think off to...erm...not sure !

[Icsunonove]

Well Mistertwokw was next in line. But the last post was on 4th October so he must have finished with it now. So I assume Owen has got it back. Sam, can you PM me Owen's phone number?

Oh and by the way it's not going in my Supercharger. I'm basically helping a mate out....

[superchargedsam]

Matt only did my mounts about 10 days ago as I had major delay with the wedding but i know he was gonna get on with it rapido so Ki may have it now ! Will PM Owens number later as not got phone on me at mo !

[Icsunonove]

Cheers Sam. Does anyone have Ki's number as well then?

By the way does anyone else have a jig I could borrow? I could do with it for next week!

(Oops, getting ahead of myself, need to find a decent clip first!)

[Marksman]

Hi chaps, nope I haven't got the jig so it should still be with the last recipient.

Have fun with it Tom.

Cheers,

Owen.

[Icsunonove]

Cheers Owen.

It's probably only a question of time before I relent and fit a 3S-GTE in my car!

I love the Supercharged engine to bits, but I have already had to refurbish the top end (after a trackday disaster) and the bottom end after another disaster!

In the meantime a friend has asked me if I will help him do a 1.5 conversion. Of course the answer was yes!

[Marksman]

Anyone we know :poke2:

All the best,

Owen.

[Mistertwokw]

Sorry fellas ,havn't been on for a whily.
i'm due to pick up the jig and some mounts from Matt on Sunday eve. Will be doing the welding sometime that week i hope.
i will post on this thread when i have collected it.
I'll give you a shout whaen its free Tom, will be as quick as poss.
Ki

[Mistertwokw]

Jig is now with me, please give us a shout who ever is next in the q, shouldn't need it long...fingers crossed!
Ki

[Icsunonove]

It's me Ki! Getting excited now, just need to find a clip.....

I'll PM you my address.

Thanks for the update

[Icsunonove]

How are you getting on Ki?

Mates car will be delivered to me on Friday, hope to get 4AGE out on Saturday. Keep us informed....

[Mistertwokw]

mounts should go in tomorrow mate....i hope!

[Shorty]

Good luck with that. Wish i had the jig myself but to much work to get it across the sea. Your in the lead now, will haveto catch up later, when the joints arrive:)

[Icsunonove]

Ooooh! Ki's finished with the jig! It should be winging itself over to me on Monday. Quick question, does sender or receiver pay for shipping?

[Icsunonove]

Wahey!!!!! Jig arrived safely this morning (cheers Ki). And I've got to say, what an excellent piece of kit and the packaging is superb too - well done Owen!

(PS I paid for the delivery - it was ?25 with Parcelfarce)

[Marksman]

Howdy Tom. Glad it arrived safely and thanks for the kind words. To be honest I've always felt a bit of an "outsider looking in" at other MR2 clubs, so it's nice to find a club where my style of cobbeling stuff together fits in. :hmm:

Good luck with the mounts and any problems feel free to give me a shout.

All the best,

Owen.

[Marksman]

How's it going Tom? I hope no news is good news :pray:

Cheers,

Owen.

[Icsunonove]

Hi Owen,

Don't panic, it hasn't gone AWOL, I've still got it! :)

I had a major hiccup in the project when basically my landlord told me to get rid of some of my cars or I go! Oh dear! So I cleared out the garage and hid Si's car out of sight.:sad:

I've managed to remove the engine and tack weld in the engine mounts in place and make the cutout. But I couldn't get the 3S-GTE engine in my garage with the car. So Si has picked it up and it is back in Manchester. I am going to go and stay for a week with him in the new year and get the 3S-GTE fitted!

Is anyone waiting for the jig?

[Marksman]

Hi Tom, good to hear from you.

I'm glad things are coming together for you, all be it with the odd inconvenience. No problem on the jig, no waiters at this time, but I was a little worried that you'd fallen off the planet or something :whistle:

Cheer 'n' all,

Owen.

[Icsunonove]

Anyone waiting for this?

I'm heading on up to Si's tomorrow early doors and aim to finish with the jig by tomorrow evening. PM me if you need it. It costs £25 to send it by Parcelfarce.

Let me know......

[Marksman]

I don't think there's anyone waiting at the moment Tom, so feel free to hang on to it for a little while. (Though if anyone is near Tom and heading my way I wouldn't mind having it back for a little bit, but I'm too tight to courier it!)

Oh and who is this Si chap? Seems a tad rude that he'd scrounge the use of our jig and not pop in to say hello at least! :rant2: Then again maybe I'm just getting grouchy in my old age :old:

All the best,

Owen,

[Icsunonove]

Oops! Sorry Owen, I have hardly had any internet access recently (should be sorted by tonight though).


Oh and who is this Si chap? Seems a tad rude that he'd scrounge the use of our jig and not pop in to say hello at least!

Owen please understand I bullied him into making the decision to go 1.5 route after his AGE blew up spectacularly. This is because I wanted to have a go at it but don't want to brutalise my SC. So the project is very much being led by me (i.e I'm telling him what to buy etc and helping him do it).

Also Si works 7 days a week and his home PC is bust. He runs a garden centre and hardly spends any time in the office. I'll nudge him to come and say hello. Anyways we've finally made some progress, so I'll start a new thread so you can see what where up to.

Oops, gone off topic: if no-one needs the jig I'll return it you if you want. I don't mind paying twice for delivery (I paid the delivery from Ki to me). I am just very appreciative that you you lent it to us. It really is an excellently put together piece of kit.

[Marksman]

No worries Tom. :thumbsup:

Seems unfair for you to pay postage twice so don't worry about sending it back, providing of course you're happy to have it for a while longer and have the space to do so?

Certainly looking forward to the new thread.

All the best,

Owen.

[Icsunonove]

Owen,

Please PM me your address and I'll send the jig back on Monday.......

[Icsunonove]

Surely someone needs it by now, I've had it for yonks? :icon_conf If not it gets returned to its owner Owen.....

[nik]

shoot it back to owen..

[Icsunonove]

Fetched it back from Wigan, now at my house in Derby. Will send it back to Owen on Tuesday. Cheers! :)

[Marksman]

Did you post it Tom, if so they seem to have lost it!

Owen.

[Paul Woods]

i bloody hope not.

[MegatronUK]

I don't want to start anything here, but was not the point of the original jig that only Big Members were allowed use, so that everyone who used it gave back to the club?

[Marksman]

:hmm:

O.S.

[Rowdan]

I don't want to start anything here, but was not the point of the original jig that only Big Members were allowed use, so that everyone who used it gave back to the club?

Only BM's have used it Jon, Tom(X19) is a BM and he used it. Just did the conversion on a friends car who has limited internet access and who Tom bullied into the conversion anyway;)

[wangan_x]

wheres da USA jig, to get jiggy with it

[MegatronUK]

In that case I'll take my soap box and go home then ;)

[Marksman]

Is there room in a 911 for a soap box or do you have a special inflatable one? ;)

O.S.

[Icsunonove]

I haven't got round to touching it up yet and since no-one is waiting for it, I've put this job on the backburner. I'll phone you Owen.....

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/04/235.jpg

Touching up, is it required? Here's pics:

I was wanting to do this as a thankyou for letting me borrow it. If it's not required I'll get it sent back! :)


EDIT: Err, Owen, can you (or anyone else for that matter) PM me Owen's phone number, Cheers!

[nik]

tom..please just send it back to owen first thing monday morning..

[Icsunonove]

Truly sorry, I didn't know why Owen needed it back, but I do now....

Owen (or someone else) , please PM me your phone number. I need to make contact.....

EDIT: Owen, you have PM...

[Marksman]

All friends again :thumbsup:

O.S.

[Icsunonove]

It's on the road. I don't trust Parcelfarce so I've taken it to the APC depot instead. It will be at Lyn's (Owen's other half) workplace before 4pm tomorrow. I've over insured it to £700 just in case...

(Right, I best bugger off this forum for a few weeks until (hopefully) you will all forgive me for being a complete and utter twat about this :blush:)

[nik]

many thanks tom :thumbsup:

no need to hide mate we all knew were a twat waaaay before this... ;) j/k

[Icsunonove]

Lol! Cheers Nik, I hope everyone feels the same way......

[superchargedsam]

Tom everyone is welcome in TB always, I mean look at Owen!

:hidesbehi

[Marksman]

The muppets even made me a mod!

Thanks Tom, work will now commence on it's rebirth as the Swiss-army knife of engine jigs. Don't worry about the delay, all is well that ends well :thumbsup: (Though the new terms and conditions for jig use will now include a "2 week slot" that it may be booked for.)

All the best chaps,

Owen.

[nik]

Tom everyone is welcome in TB always, I mean look at Owen!

aaargghh my eyes..my eyes...:freak3:

LMFAO!

[Icsunonove]

Like I've said Owen, truly sorry :blush:. To be totally honest with you I was hoping I didn't need to pay for postage twice ('cos I'm mega skint at the moment and in a bit of trouble money wise :blush: and I paid the postage from Ki to me). So I was hoping someone would pop up who needed it and they would pay me for postage, but it never happened.

hey all, im predicting that i should be (SHOULD BE, ahem) able to utilise this fantastic bit of kit around the end of sept, start of october. Would i be able to slap my name down on the list for around this time, and naturally if folk need it before then i'll hold off and wait?

Just want to pop my head in and put my name on the list, albeit maybe 2 or 3 places down?:thumbsup:

[Marksman]

No problem, consider you're name pencilled in :thumbsup:

[sliverstorm]

Hello, I live in the US (kinda like the UK? 50% similar- the 'U' part, not the 'K'). I've been scoping out the MK1.5 idea ever since before I bought my MR2. Was gonna go 4AGZE for a while, but I have since learned that the smog laws in California seem to be insanely more facilitive to the 3SGTE, and the torque is almost universally better anyway. I am looking to see if I can line everything up, so I was just wondering if you'd ship to California, US. Thanks!

[Tommytank]

feck, id make that mid to end oct, as these mounts STILL aint here yet :-(

Hi Silverstorm, I'm afraid we don't ship that far away as the risk of it going astray is just to great, however there is a chap in the US by the name of Carl Crawford who has a jig that I believe he ships around.

Hope that helps,

Owen.

[sliverstorm]

Ok, no problem. And thanks for the pointer :)

[Tommytank]

I are has engine mounts! I'm all set for the jig now peeps, who has and are they ready to pass it on? What do i need to do and it shalt be done?!

lol :pumped:

lol :pumped:

Hi Tomytank
Well the first requirement is already taken care of, you're a big member :thumbsup:

The jig is currently with me and ready for dispatch so you're at the head of the queue. The rules have changed slightly though. Any big member in need of the jig is entitled to use it free of charge still, but they have a 2 week window that they may book it for. After this time it must be returned to me or passed on to another member. Worst case is that means that someone may end up paying courier charges both ways. (Total £40-ish.) This is not how we intended to run things but in the past the jig disappeared for unreasonable periods so this is how it now has to be :hand:

If this is acceptable then please contact me by PM and I'll get it sent off to you.

Many thanks and good luck with your build,

Owen.

If you need any storage let me know, ive got a 3750 sq ft unit in stewarton :boogie:

[Tommytank]

Jig arrived at the start of this week, just on my way to the workshop to put it through its paces. Has to be said, its some bit of kit! A true testament to Pauls skills, take a bow my man!

Shall be taken care of well, thanks again!

[Paul Woods]

ah you need to thank owen for the jig quality,i was merely responsible for the 1st generation model that was snotted together from twigs and clothes pegs.... owen produced that work of art you see before you modelled on my first attempt :)

[biteme]

Typical welshman ... a sheep, not a shepherd!

[Marksman]

"XYZ" produced that work of art you see before you modelled on my first attempt :)

Pretty much goes for anything you see built on this forum be it tool or car! :driving: :praise2:

God we're a bunch of self loving arse kissers :slap:

Owen.

[Tommytank]

Stop the timer, They're welded in!
Haha, just gotta line the jig up one more time with the mounts to check the mounts havent budged about when the welds cooled. After that, I'm all done.

Well, hats off to Owen then for the jig weld, Paul for the idea, and anyone else that had a hand in (oo-er)

As it states that the jig should be used in 2 week slots, you wan tme to hold onto it for a week or so Owen, so that if anyone needs it in that time it'll save 2 courier treks? It'll be safe and soundly stashed under me bed and nowhere in the garage...

Off to get the 3s down to this new garage today, and then it wont be long till :driving:

[Marksman]

Good man :thumbsup: Glad to see you're making serious progress on your project. Did you remember to sign the jig?

No worries on you holding onto it for a week.

Cheers,

Owen.

[Stu]

I'd like to request the jig please

PS it's taken me 2 days to find this thread lol

Check out the "Engine Jig Thread" link on the top left of the home page rotflmao

PS it's taken me 2 days to find this thread lol

No problem Stu :thumbsup:

Tommytank has it at the moment so if you'd like to drop him a PM them I'm sure he'll pass it along. Any problems give me a shout. Oh any news on those bits for Paul's car?

Cheers,

Owen.

[Tommytank]

Hi stu, i have the jig still ATM, pm me your address and i'll post you it this week bud!

[nik]

Stu - its linked to from the front page Navigation menu, you doughnut!!

[Marksman]

Stu / Tommytank, who has the jig a the moment please?

Ta,

Owen.

[Tommytank]

I still have it, still waitinh for Stu to PM me his address to send it...

[Marksman]

Fair enough, thanks for the update.

Ta,

Owen.

[Tommytank]

ahem, Stu?

[Stu]

sorry guys I'll pm Mr tank now lol

[Tommytank]

Jig on its way to Stu now. Didnt realise its a bank holiday weekend, i sent it next day delivery on Thursday, but its probably gonna reach you on Tuesday Stu. Oh, and i didnt know what your second name was, and couldnt get you on your mobile, so I improvised and called you Stuart Paul Woods! Lol. Even at that, its only come up on the dispatch note as "Stuart Paul" cos the space was too short. Sorry bud, but keep an eye out if its a company address, as thats the name its going to.

[jos777333]

Hello guys, Ive been considering doing this swap for awhile now and right now my main concern is the engine mounts. Was curious as to if you were willing to have this shipped to the states when the time comes. I understand you would want this ship insured and that would not be a problem for me. Again this is no hurry as i havent purchased an mk1 shell or the 3sgte yet. If shipping the jig isnt a possability could someone tell me the secrets to the job? :P

Thanks guys.

[Rowdan]

Hi mate, can't speak for Owen but I don't think it would be very cost effective to ship the jig to the States. Had you thought of Carl Crawford, his company Speed-source is your side of the pond and supplies the mounts and the loan of a jig to get them fitted.
Clicky Link (http://www.speed-source.net/products/3sgte.htm)

[Marksman]

Thanks Rowan :thumbsup: Did you see the price of those mounts though? Ours are £25, his are $190!

Owen.

[Paff]

I may need access to the Jig in a few weeks time so could I put in a request and join the queue.

Cheers,

Stu. The terms and conditions state that the jig can be borrowed for a two week window. You had it in March and it's now May. There are now 2 other people after it, can we have it back please?

Hi, I'm from denmark, and I'm sure I'll have use for a jig like that, but I'm not really sure about when I'll be doing the full project as I'm studying, and use the car every day as of now, but I'm going to make the conversion soon, so is there any chance that you can make a copy ? you don't have to paint it or make is a nice looking as the one you already have. I'll ofc pay the expences.

Sure, I'm getting it to the guy who needs it hopefully for this weekend or on the weekend so will let you know as soon as he's done.

Hi Owen,

thx, I don't need anything special,, just the basics, aka no fancy good-looking jig, just weld something up in 10 mins that fit, then throw it in a box with the mounts I'll be needing, and ship to Denmark.

[nik]

do me a v6 whilst youre at it owen..should be a busy weekend..:careful:

Hi Owen,

thx, I don't need anything special,, just the basics, aka no fancy good-looking jig, just weld something up in 10 mins that fit, then throw it in a box with the mounts I'll be needing, and ship to Denmark.

Just to elaborate on this a little. To make a new jig I have two options:-

Option 1
Find a person who has a complete MK1.5 and ask them if I can take their engine out so I can make a new jig from their chassis.

Option 2
Find a MK1.
Remove the engine
Remove the old mounts
Pay to have my first jig shipped back to me.
Weld a set of new mounts into the chassis
Make your new jig from this car.

Neither is a 10 minute job :rant: But if that is what it takes then that is what we'll do :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Owen.

[Paff]

Owen, we do have one option, If I can get jon to use the jig and not fit his engine till you return we might be able to use his car as a base. Can't promise he can wait but will ask.

[supersi]

I can make a jig if you want when I do mine

[supersi]

Can I borrow the jig please ?

[Paff]

Yep.
Owens the one whos usually dealt with it so I'll check with him tonight and sort it out.

[supersi]

Cheers :thumbsup:

[TbarTurbo]

Didnt realise the jig was back in action... could do with borrowing it again myself if i cant rope supersi into fitting mine and his in the same sitting :D

Can somebody link me to the mount drawings with sizes etc on and ill get them laser cut ready :)

Hi.

I think you're getting your wires crossed a bit mate. This thread is for the jig for the TB 3SGTE into AW11. The jig you borrowed was the SWAT 3VZFE into AW11 but that'll be no use to you either this time around as you're using a 4V6 adaptor mount on a 1MZ. (Our jig only fits the SWAT mounts and adaptor not the 4V6.)

Sorry, not the news you were looking for I'm sure :sad:

Happy grinding,

Owen.

[Paul Woods]

for the 1mz install? the 3sgte jig is no use for you,neither is a 3vz jig,its got to be a 1mz specific jig or manually mounted.

[supersi]

Can I borrow the jig tho, as I'm putting the 3sgte into an aw11.

Cheers,
Si

[Paul Woods]

Tbarturbo i have been informed you are now asking for the mk1.5 jig despite our phone call yesterday, please stop asking to borrow engine jigs that will not work with your 1mz engine,i tried explaining to you on the phone yesterday that you need to manually hang this engine or use a 1mz jig...NOTHING else will work.

You said you didn't understand why you can't hang a 1mz off a 3sgte jig... well ive got 3 different mk1 engine jigs here for a reason.Im telling you it won't work.

It's starting to get a tad tedious having to explain this over and over mate both on the phone and forum.The 3sgte engine jig is for use on 3sgte engine installs only.Any other engine type install risks damaging the jig.

[TbarTurbo]

paul... check the date i posted my jig request, the day before i decided to ring you for advice, which was gratefully given and taken notice of... :)

Also the reply to your pms last night, where you offered to make a loanable jig when you have time and a suitable car in to jig from. :)

[Paul Woods]

if thats the case then why did you ask a member of the club for the 3sgte jig since we spoke yesterday?

[TbarTurbo]

Would said member like to prove this?! I did ring paff to see if the jig was there for the 3sgte as si needs it and he was over my way monday and tuesday, so could of had it sent to me, this was at 8.54am yesterday, my call to you was at 12.53pm.

[Paul Woods]

fair enough,i wasn't aware of the actual times... it just seemed that there had been a request for the jig after you had been told on this thread by myself and marksman it won't work for you.

[TbarTurbo]

Well thats that cleared up then :)

I still cant see why it doesnt work, but as per pm's, im taking your word as gospel and dealing with it accordingly :) cheers fella.

[biteme]

Well thats that cleared up then :)

I still cant see why it doesnt work, but as per pm's, im taking your word as gospel and dealing with it accordingly :) cheers fella.

There's really nobody more qualified to have a comment on it.

[Paff]

I'll make a comment, I did receive a phone call then phoned owen to see what the situation on the jig was, I left it at that as I have had no dealings with the jig myself.

The call from Tom was first thing in the morning, if Paul received a call from Tom after that maybe some of the confusion was down to times being muddled. I don't know as I don't know the time of the call to Paul and I just relayed a message, after that I know nothing.

[Rowdan]

I know nothing.
Are you from Barcelona? rotflmao

[Paff]

Are you from Barcelona? rotflmao

I was wondering if someone would pic up on that :)

[Rowdan]

No I was talking to her, but I was looking at you...see how easily it's done. lol

[supersi]

:hyper: I'm still after the jig if it's available :)

[OlberJ]

Maybe this deserves another thread of it's own, but there is case for one jig being able to fit all methinks, purely because you can put any of the engines, tubby, 3VZ, 1MZ, 5VZ into a Mk2 shell on the original mounts (with the adapted driver's side mount a la 4V6). So if the jig replicates these Mk2 mounts in a Mk1 then the same would apply. (Idea copyright of Jiff 19Canteen)

They will be lined up slightly wrong in a Mk1, dependant on engine, either too high or too far forward etc which then means you have to move things around it, and that's why u need the specific jig.

So if we went down the 1 jig route it would mean redoing all the other current ways of doing the firewall and possibly raising the engine lid, uneven driveshaft angles, gearcable positioning, etc etc.

Hope that clears up a little of the confusion on the whys and why nots.

Hello

Is the Jig still available, looks a while since the last requests!

(I will be upgrading the membership soon :-) )

[Whore of Babylon]

Hey im halfway around the world and would deffinatly give a deposit, had anyone tried to do this yet? what are rough postage costs?

cheers,

[nik]

would be in the region of 100s of pounds each way, far too expensive. its v.heavy and on the large size in its transit case.
i guessed the mounts in KYT from a couple of pics. much more accurate measurements are available now so i think youre best off going jig-less.

[Whore of Babylon]

Yeh? i have planned to do it jigless but i would be retarded to not check first :P im not very good with the new forums where would i find the mesurments to get a rough guesstamate on placement?

Pete, It may turn out to be a total rotbox so there is no rush at all, but the conversion will happen one day when I get a suitable donor so yes I am still interested. You don't know where the .dxf (I think they are) drawings for the engine mounts have gone do you, the link on the site doesn't work.

Alan...

[pistol pete]

mounts are here

greetings robert

[pistol pete]

I have a jig that's gonna start the rounds soon
Phaeton has it first

[Goldy]

Maybe time for a new jig thread?

[Phaeton]

SpeedDevil, The intention is for when Pete has finished with it, I'm going down to pick up my engine from Patrick (Headcase) and at the same time pick up the jig. Where are you in the country as I'm sure we can sort somthing out.

Alan...

[AlunJ]

Whatever happened with the original jig anyway? During the summer I was told (by the person who'd had it for a year or more) that it'd been returned to the club. Did that not happen?

[pistol pete]

not that i know of i hunted for it, mr woods made me a new one,
hence the need for a new thread

[AlunJ]

Fair enough, I'd heard from the ex-mod who had it up to last year that it'd gone back to the club, probably stuck in a storeroom somewhere.

[Paff]

He's probably still got it Alun

[Tommytank]

So did a new one get made?

[Phaeton]

Yes, Pistol Pete had one made which I bought off him, CabbyDave currently has it as I am in the US with work, I intend to pick it back up from him on the 18th as I land back in Manchester but I'm getting no reply from Dave.

Alan...

[Tommytank]

Can i put my name down next please? Time frame is fine as I'm a couple of months away from requirement anyway.

[Phaeton]

Tommy, sure, I arrive back on the 18th like I said I have to virtually go past Dave's house so hope to pick it up, he's had it a couple of months so hopefully done with it. As soon as I get back I've off on holiday for a week, then I will either be trying to start my conversion or I'm coming back out here, don't know yet. But either way I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.

Alan...

[Tommytank]

Sounds like a plan Alan!

[cabbydave]

What time are you back in the UK you are going to finish your car even if I have to weld the mounts in myself for you. You've been wanting to do it for ages and with the jig its so easy.Drop me a PM or txt about Saturday

[Phaeton]

If I can ever get Virgin to answer their bloody phone I'm hoping to change my flight from the 24th to the 17th on the later flight so it's the 747 not the Airbus, it's due to land at 09:35 by the time I've got through Immigrations & Customs I reckon 11:00 at yours, but will let you know when they fucking answer

Alan..

[squeezebox]

can you let me know when its finished with please chaps.

[Phaeton]

Sqeezbox, how long would you need it? are you ready for it now?

Alan...

[Tommytank]

Also, my 4A is still sat in place. If you are ready to weld now squeezebox feel free to jump the line!

[Phaeton]

Yeah Tommy that was what I was thinking, mine's out but no mounts made etc. so if he's ready??

Alan...

[squeezebox]

id just need it for the day, next week would be great if possible.

[Tommytank]

Nice one Phaeton, I'll be pulling my lump out over the next 2 weeks. I'll see where you are once squeezebox is done with it!

[pistol pete]

Good to hear so many 1.5 s coming to life

[Phaeton]

Just so you are all aware, this is not the clubs jig but one that I bought off Pete, so my intention for it is it, there will be a £100 deposit required on it, the costs of the courier both ways to be covered by the requesting member, on return I will refund £75. I intend to do this on 3 occasions & being honest will keep the money myself, the next 2 occasions the 2x £25 will go to the club, it will then be put up for sale. I hope this is acceptable to all concerned.

Alan...

[Tommytank]

Bloody hell Phaeton, things have gotten a lot more expensive since the first jig. I have no problem with you recouping costs if you had a replacement made, that's only fair. Requesting that the jig is couriered from you and back every time is a bit steep considering the weight of the jig and that the jig itself can only be used by big members, which should imply a bit of trust that it will be returned after its done the rounds.

What happened to the clubs jig? I don't know the full history of the previous jig, but i assume it must have went AWOL to someone. Were they pulled up and hoiked off the club for losing it? I personally used the last one and i would think reputation-wise folk here would know i would be passing the jig on as sharpish as possible to the next person.

If that's the way it needs to be with this jig then so be it, it just feels to me as if it displays a bit of a lack of trust in the TB spirit of things... Sorry if that sounds a bit pissy, its not meant to be.

Alan...

i think thats fair enough alan as its your own jig. when youve recouped your money though how about you give first dibs to the club to buy it off you as im pretty sure ours did go walkies and unfortunately. we never used to ask for a deposit which we should have done imho, but trusted it would be looked after and not go missing lol

[Phaeton]

Tommy,

Wasn't meant to be distrustful/disrespectful & if I caused offence then apologies, I just want to ensure I get it back, as to not couriering I just thought it was the easiest way, I am in Worksop, you are in Kinneff, I'm not quite sure how else it would get there?

Nik,

Yes, by all means, once I have used it then the club can have dibs,

Alan...

[pistol pete]

i think what pheaton says is perfectly fine, all for the club etc. but it still costs someone money, i had it made up buy paul, which cost me a fair amount of money, got my use from it
passed it to pheaton again for a fiar amount of money (although i lost a big chuck) its worth it to pass on through the club..
so only fair he should get his money back too :)

[Tommytank]

No I have no issue with that at all. I mean passing it too and from Alan seems a bit overkill on the shipping. Would it not be simpler if one member ships directly to another and copies Alan on the details of who has it?

[cabbydave]

The jig will cost less than a tenner for a courier to deliver it which is a lot cheaper than getting another one made. Whats holding you up with the mounts Alan if its steel ive got a bit here you can have I can cut it roughly the right shape if you want and send it to you if that will speed your build up. Still not got any further with mine save fully welding the mounts and painting them.

[squeezebox]

thanks for the offer, since its my dads project and he is on a tight budget we decided to hoist the engine in position and mark it up that way, we only got round to doing it today.. ill no longer need the jig cheers guys.

[Tommytank]

I'm still on target, engine is out and i can have mounts done in a week.

Whats the list like?

[Tommytank]

How you getting on Alan? I just collected my mounts, will be ready for the jig by the end of the month...

[Phaeton]

Life is unfortunately getting in the way, also been struggling to sort out the brackets, but hopefully will have them by this weekend or early next week, then just got to hope I get a night with good weather to get them installed next week. Then away on holiday for a week & then very much looks like I will be in the US for much or all of September. Either way I can get the jig up to you towards end of next week.

[MR2Turbo1991]

Hey guys, I hope no one minds me asking, however I've been a member of imoc for about 6 years and have had a few project mk2 turbos and I'm really keen to get a mk1.5 project off the ground and I was just wondering about the hiring of the jig for the mounts and how hiring it works. I shan't need it straight away but I have a spare rev3 320bhp aching to be put into a mk1 when I can find a nice one. Thanks. Wayne (W88NNE)

[Phaeton]

Wayne,

Don't mind you asking at all, currently I own the jig which is on holiday it the upper reaches of Scotland with Tommy. At some point when I am back in the UK I will need it back to get my mounts put in my car. The cost is £100 deposit of which £75 will be refunded once it is either back with me or confirmed with the next member, plus the cost of a tracked method of getting it to you. When I sent it to Tommy I used TNT (I think) which cost just under £10. So all in all it will either cost £35 or £45 depending whether the jig comes back to me or goes to another member.

Alan...

[wood_patrick]

Howdy. :-)

Is the jig still available to rent/hire? After getting my oily little mitts on it for a few days in the next couple of months if possible? :-/

[Phaeton]

Yes it is it's currently with Tommy in deepest darkness Independance land, it may get stuck in customs as it tries to cross the border, but if you're quick we may still have a trade treaty with them until Mr Salmon stops it.

Alan...

[wood_patrick]

Lol. Probably easier to go by sea then. ;-)

Shall I sort with Tommy and keep you in the loop?

[Phaeton]

It will all depend on when exactly you need it, I'm currently trying to broker a deal to sell everything I have, which is about 98% of the conversion parts along with a solid car. If it happens I'm sure the new owner will still be happy to let it be used,

Alan...

[Tommytank]

Bugger, only just seen this. I'm out the country for the next 2 weeks guys, but as soon as i get back i can package this and post. Just PM me the outcome of the negotiations!!

[Phaeton]

You & me both Tommy I'm currently in Chicago but back Thursday, just get over the jetlag to be hammered with it on the way back

Alan..

[wood_patrick]

Well I was being a bit pro-active to be honest, as probably wont need it till July...

But, if there was an option to have it at any point even for a day or two I will work around anyone/everyone as needed as doing it with a jig is a darn site easier. Lol. At worst I will just get the engine hung first and finish off another time. :-)

[Tommytank]

In fairness, i am done with it, but figured i'd hold it under the bench out the way rather than risk another bout or royal fail...

As soon as i get back i can post it.

[wood_patrick]

Tommy, thanks for that. :smile: I'd be extremely grateful if I could get my hands on it at any point, if its only gonna be for a couple of days I'll book time off and can turn it back around in 2-3 days? No rush though, so all down to you/Alan really depending when is more convenient and suits best? Doesn't really make a big difference to me whether I do it now or in a couple of months, so no pressure either way. :smile:

[wood_patrick]

Bump. :smile:

CabbyDave - Many thanks for the offer, much appreciated but down in South Wales and don't really get around the county with work anymore. :-(

Alan - Didn't mean as a chase, just a reminder, kinda like a little wave to say "Hello". Lol. But thanks for the reply, will await to hear from you.

No worries matey, as said not sure when he's back but as soon as he is we'll sort something bout.

Ok - Thanks. :-) Will try get prepped up this end and get the engine out ready so can turn it around quickly.

Was trying to locate the PDF for the mount cut out guides at the start of this thread too, but link dead and not sure if the one in downloads is the same. You wouldnt happen to have the PDF/CAD file for them would you?

Sorry guys, just to clarify i'm not here on holiday. I'm out for work and frankly i'm being fucked around something awful with it.

I've been told i'll be back within a week but i am a bit skeptical. Again, its a bit of a bugger for you, but i can assure you that as soon as i get back the jig will be in the post to you.

The jig is Phaetons so if you can ensure he knows where it is going and sort it with him, then PM me the address to ship to i'll get it sent ASAP.

Tommy.

Hi Tommy,

Understood and no panic. To be honest I was originally planning to do it in a few months but thought I may as well get it done now if there's the option of the jig.

Will sort with Alan too and let you know details once done. :-)

Sorry Tommy, it was just with you saying 2 weeks, I made an incorrect assumption it was holiday lol, it's shit being away from home & getting screwed around, happens to me on a regular basis.
