Back from the shops, so I can continue my update. Fajitas for tea, with key lime pie for dessert if anyone is interested.
Had a proper look at the passenger side door mech - not adjustable. Seems like quite a lot of Saxos suffer from sagging doors and this one is no different. I knew it was out when I bought it, but assumed that it was adjustable. Anyway, looks like a welding / bodyshop job. Not a pig and quite cheap by all accounts, but it won't be done pre-Goodwood. A new category added to the list... Live with it for now.
Same goes for the electric mirror switches (I called them electric window switches earlier in the thread - that was me being a dick and writing the wrong things). Had those out, but it is all sealed and looks non-serviceable. Squirted some contact cleaner in there, but didn't expect much and true to form, it didn't do much. Mirror position can be adjusted from outside the car anyway. Added to the live with it for now list.
Better news on the radio front. I'm not driving A to B without some Radio 2, track car or not. I needed a code, but couldn't find one in any of the paperwork. I had read that sometimes they are written on the unit and so it was:
Saved me having to decide whether to pay for a code (£20), or whether to get a second had unit off eBay. Not the last word in Hi-Fi I'm sure, but it will do!
Next up, camera mount. I'd always thought that a headrest mounted cam would be a good option in a car without a cage. Not difficult to make, but I wasn't sure what material to use, but the Gods solved that one. Randomly my garden umbrella had appeared earlier in this thread:
It took a tumble in the recent thunderstorms, snapping the shaft. I decided to recycle it, as it was irreparable. This is the result:
It does fit on the front and rear headrests, but the catch is broken on the front passenger headrest and the headrest can be slid right off. The headrest would need to move about 8 inches before becoming completely detached, but a flying camera would be less than ideal if I have a big off (although in a Saxo, a flying camera might be the least of my worries).
Double checked the framing:
Happy with that, especially as the camera quality is good enough for me to be able to zoom in during subsequent editing. Will try to remember how to use the camera properly and might be able to sort that in advance. Only additional change to that mount was to drill a third hole so that I can tether the camera to it.
So that is me up to date...
