Awesome to hear! I often wonder how many are still running FreeEMS. The ones I know of: My junk, on and off, Volvo 244 full time, ute when it runs, KP on ignition, hotel when it runs Jeff's truck AFAIK is still on it and being used? Jeff, confirm? Rob's R33 still has it, but it's garage bound a lot ...

PS, LOL @ 4 year late reply :-D

From my perspective, it's a great little board with one major flaw: Power supply noise immunity. Whilst it is vastly better than the earliest one with the incorrect ground plane situation under the MCU I think it's still not really good enough for the harsh environment that they live in. On some car...

^ They are.

Assumption above is that the 650 points are symmetrical - they may not be - I should check that before placing any A-frame bolt holes in the contraption.

Next victim has strong points centred on 650mm so a total of 66mm outside that to the centres of the bolts and thus 33 per side, minus half of the thickness of these strong points = centres of bolts are 33 minus 6 = 27 out from the strong points - minus another max 12 for plate, likely 10 or even 6 ...

660mm inside edge to inside edge, 56mm width of hinge brackets = 716mm width, centre to centre, not 720, so I'll have to bore those hotel holes out to 16mm each to make it slip on fine, I guess that's okay for a one-off - not terrible anyway. Oops.

Well, about 2 years ago was the last time it ran, and about 3.5 the last time it was legal, but the other day I got it going again by reducing sync confirmations to the minimum for resync (min is 1, setting is 0 in raw form). Took it for a drive, still smoky, old stale fuel low octane and/or low fro...

Centre to centre spacing of bolts with current/caravan spacer set up and I think that's the same for the ute is approx 720mm and the bolt holes are on 40mm centres up and down or back and forward depending on what you're doing. 12.5mm min bolt holes, 14 gives some wiggle room and room for error. I'l...

Well, if you can do it without cutting/chopping/destroying then go right ahead - that's my general approach to all classic car mods :-)
