Tried the portable one, same thing, double click and nothing happens

[psyolent]

did you get the ESR version of portable for winXP?

[vlad01]

Yes, I got he right one.

I can launch any exe or otherwise fine except when its a browser other than ie.

Tested NFS5, works good.

I would be great if I could get vulkan on this, but looks like it has to come with the GPU drivers and since the latest driver predates almost a decade it doesn't have it. From what I have googled I can't see how to add it separately.

The hole was always 57mm towards the passenger side and 57 mm down from the middle of the main harness. I'm pretty sure it's in the paper work somewhere.

Turns out there is a dimple at this location for drilling, but.... the firewall is too low relative to the body and much of that is blocked by the firewall locating groove in the body. Looked at the other 2 cars and they do have room, so this one just had the firewall fitted lower down. I can just drill about 5-8mm higher and should be good.

Sent an old accelerator cable to Retro Spares, aka auto cables in Melbourne so they can make me some new cables plus provide me with clutch and handbrake cables.

My PS rack should be done and to pick up Monday.

Ordered 10 pairs of C pillar moulds to sell and keep a set spare for my VP S, there will be in the high res white nylon, the carbon fiber stuff didn't work out like I hoped, way too porous and layers are easy to pick apart, none of these issues on the pure nylon. Stiffness was about the same so no advantage. Very light though, good for drones and alike.

Gathering up all my stuff to be e-coated and zinc plated. Including the seat belt hardware as I will be sending those to Perth for re-webbing as soon as the anchor brackets are e-coated, mine were a bit rusty.

Picked up one of 2 front NOS bumpers from work. So seems I have cleaned out all supply of them haha. Got enough to cover each car and a spare.

Hopefully Monday I can drop of all my stuff and bolts for the Delta coatings in Dandenong.

Progress is progress.

Belts are all out. Going to cut off the brackets and add them to the pile to e-coat. Just need to take note which go where and which way before I remove them.

Hardware is gathered for zinc plating.
