Punto (Mk2/2b) Lum's 2b - Eurooooooooooo to be!

[Lum MK2B]

What locking kit you get mate ive just fitted one in my mk2b may be able to give you advice of send a few pics of correct wires to splice, also from scotland but dunno how close.

Thats the badboy i got

I used the HAWK one but i imagine you would use the same wires. The thing I thought I messed up on was the power wire. It dosn't seem like its getting power to it at all :/ even though ive wired it up to well what i think it a power wire. You got any pics or anything mate? Any help would be banging like.

 

[Deekstar]

can get you some, need tidy it up a bit anyway ill also take down the wire colours, i know instead of splitting the indicator wire i went direct to the hazard wire as other way bridged the circuit and hazards went on with indicator lol not cool.

i read somewhere someone did that lmao. mabey it was you posting somwhere else on the forums! If you could show me what cable you used as your power cable that wid be aswome. And its pin 24 and 34 for unlocking and locking eh? in the black connector?

 

[Deekstar]

Locking - Pin 34
Unlocking - Pin 24
Indicator - Pin 2 (ill double check and tell you the colours)
Live (I spliced into a red cable in a bunch to the left of the lever that raises/lowers wheel)
Negative Wires - attatched to the underside of a bolt on steering column

Will take pics 2moz as some pikey has borrowed my allen keys and not returned them

 

[Lum MK2B]

the negative wieres are yellow, yellow black and black eh? do u just attatch all three to the bolt?

 

[Deekstar]

yeah pretty much think i had three a main negative and 2 negatives for the lock/unlock as the punto has a negative locking system also use crimps those scotchlock things are utter pish

 

[Lum MK2B]

I used connector blocks ..?

 

[Deekstar]

yeah there fine i used crimps to keep it tidy but connector block is fine just noticed ur from livi was there today doin some chrimbo shopping which has destroyed my modding budget for the month

 

[Lum MK2B]

More of an update, I gota get pics on, cos my phones broke I don't have a camera now

- Got the spoiler, ready to be sprayed black.
- Smoothing the bumper (plastic welding) going good.
- Smoothed a boot, ready to be sprayed + spoiler fitted.
- Interior re-trim completely finished, love it

For christmas, should I get ..

FK AK's? or a new reg plate 'L333 UUM' (for Liam) I'm stuck between the 2 haha.

nah mate fibreglass is fine if you use the correct one and use it properly...use enough hardener and let it set and sand properly...prep surface properly will be fine.

The surface needs to have a strong key. Sanding the to be filled areas with p40 is fine my front and rear bumper is done this way been driving it over 6 months and nothing wrong with it.

I would strongly recomend welding plates in any! metal smoothing. I tried to cheat and do the same with my bonnet sunk within 2 weeks. I welded a small plate over my rear wiper hole and looks perfect. Keep us updated.

Btw where in Scotland u from. Im from Edinburgh

dnt need to plastic weld to smooth bumpers...i never did i just used fibreglass and filler and somebody even drove into the front corner of me bumper and stil it didnt crack the filler or fibreglass just paint off and ovvious scuff marks (needed respray)

Yeah i suppose so. Ive never worked with fibreglass either and it irritates my hands like a b1tch because the bins at work are made of it and i cant even touch them lol.
So just thought it might have been more practical for me to plastic weld them and fill over that

plastic weld is harder i tryed it only once at colege didnt enjoy it lol can bodge it if you want and use a soldering iron to melt the plastics together lol

wear gloves to do fibreglass it comes as a paste so you just spread it over the gaps

ah right, think ill probably just fibreglass it then tbh lol
do you need the netting stuff first or just paste the whole lot?

just the paste....i didnt use any of that mesh stuff...just make sure you use enough hardener when mixing and apply quickly before it turns hard.

once all holes filled sand ruff a bit then use some filler...keep using filler until 100% smooth and all bubbles (little holes youll get what i mean when it comes to doing it lol) are gone

Yeah man I know! How did you weld the plate on the wiper hole? Cos its too small to get in behind it!

Oh, and I'm from Livingston , I go to Napier Uni so I'm in Edinbrugh with the car most days.



Oh and guys, if you look back in my thread you'l see that I WOULD VERY STRONGLY ADVISE PLASTIC WELDING IT!!! I tried to get away with that, not plastic welding, and i primed the bumper than notices a small crack, so i put some strain on it, and it cracked right along the line. So I've been plastic welding!

Its so easy, get a doner-bumper, or just some plastic and then just use a soldering iron (£13 from ebay) and away you go. Honestly, it took me like 1 hour to get the hang of, now I', the grand daddy at it
