Thanks for the advice on the shocks. We have listened and decieded to keep the sierra main springs and fit a pair of capri shock's. The advantage is that the shock's are now upright so should work better. We had new upper brackets made for the upper mounts that could be bolted to the strong side bar. (see Attached photo.) This also gives us the option for coil overs in the future. Thanks for the advice on the steering wheel. Does anyone have an old rev counter? The speedometer is 4" and come off a cortina (smiths) I think with a chrome bezel and a blck face, It needs to be negative earth.

Warks / Worcs / West Mids Monthly Meet Wed 26th June 2019

See you there too, and my first one as couldn't make last month's -
Should you ever use rubber for brake lines? Won't they swell with the hydraulic force, losing your braking force? If that's not a problem and you mean the exposed brake hose to the caliper, it's probably recommended to have it braided. Exposed to the elements, you don't want a stone cutting the pipe and losing all your brakes

There's a guy on the strickly kitcar Facebook page in Bognor Regis selling a Locust for £2250. Correctly registered but needs some work.
-
It shouldn't be an issue. Just check there's no fouls or strain on the hose on full lock and allow for suspension travel.
-
Thanks Richy, will there be an issue if I connect the rubber hose directly to the callipers (heat?) as im trying to do away with the short copper pipe on type 16 callipers. Thanks
-
These are now out of the car
-
Oh blimey yeah, that's daft. I think I paid a tenner at Stoneleigh for it, it was on their stand they were just shifting excess stock I think.
-
No rubber hoses are fine.
-
Hi do I have to fit braided front brake hoses for Iva? Thanks
-
Cheers brumster, after looking into it they are asking more than £30 for just the cover! So we are gonna get the new wheel from Mr toad instead, we wanted a slightly bigger wheel anyway.
-
Depends what you call cheap, everybody's view is different, I have a Formula 27 with an Alpha Romeo 2L engine, 12 months MOT needs a little tidying looking for around £3500

See this link : https://parts.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/steering?product_id=538 Obviously you don't want the whole thing, you just want the rubber cover. Maybe if you ring them they can sell you one. It fits over Mountney steering wheel bosses.

There's always the Fairy liquid bottle !!

Craig need to know around lunch tomorrow so will probably be abit late
-
I had one MOT at Kwik Fit and they passed it with the faulty pump and just told me to fix it, which I did and the new pump didn't work either 12 months later.
-
Ah, that's interesting because mine has never worked and I was wondering how strict they would be about it - guess it depends on the garage?

We can't stay over so will leave late Saturday evening. I can ask at our meet tomorrow night if anyone else is interested but it might be a bit later for you?

Mines Monday, fingers crossed, only thing I can find is a little play in a rear wheel bearing (been an advisory on last 2 MOT's). Will try and get round to it this weekend but if not then just chance it for another year
