inside a Gtv6 chassis

[shane wescott]

Hi People

I know this is brave but it has to be done.

I was sucked in by a sale at super cheap and bought one of those USB cameras - on special for about $50, includes leds in the end, magnets and grabber end. Its a couple of metres of cables so I am thinking a tour of the gtv6 chassis is in order.

It maybe also makes its way into the spark plug hole.

Question, anyone else done this or am I the first lunatic - I know not what I wil find.

The picture and res seems ok after some simple tests on mouths and nostrils which amused the grand daughter :-)

Does video and still so I will see if I can do a production of "GTV6 -inside the beast"

Catch ya

Maybe you don't want to know what is going on inside your chassis...

I remember using the factory jack on  my 116  and not being able to wind it back down as the handle was hitting the door. The door was well inside the arc of the handle. "What the?." Thought I. "I know the car sometimes creeps sideways as you lift it, but not that much, Huh?". Turns out the lift point was soft enough for me to bend back by hand.

"The Horror"

Still, sounds like a fun thing.

Can't go wrong at just $50. They're a good item to have in the workshop.

I'm recently used mine on my 90 to help with the sill rust repairs, and years ago I chopped an Alfetta sedan apart so I'm familiar with the innards of the type.  http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/car-restoration/14822-alfetta-sill-cut.html

I use professional borescopes at work, so the cheap one is a little lacking, but surprising good for the price.  I even sourced a $50.00 laptop to go with it    A hint is to allow the thing time to focus and adjust the resolution.  They are a little slow, though that may depend on the laptop.

The biggest issue is that you can't steer it in-situ, and it's often difficult to orientate your view with the screen/horizon.  i.e. which way is up!

There isn't much of interest inside an Alfetta sill.  Much less interesting than a 105.   The A-pillars on the other hand........
