All Activity

Not RH specific but I've never found a good detachable steering wheel boss, they usually add too much depth & push the steering wheel too close to the driver.

I knew of a good few bodyshops in the city but didn't realise quite how many there are. Having spent forever on the phone & tinternet I managed to find 2 out of hundreds who repair fibreglass bodywork. One of these only does repairs to TVRs so that left me with a choice of one. They've now had a look at the car and they did seem to know exactly what would need doing and no, it won't be cheap. Hopefully it will all be sorted by Christmas 😄

Yes, that's true. 😆

I would have been there, done that & got the tee shirt, luckily the van chose a lamppost to arrange it's own stopping point

Could have been worse she could have made you go to Meadowhell

Just a small update regarding footwear of all things. Got dragged to McArthur Glenn, a designer outlet in the Midlands. What would normally be a fairly boring trip, traipsing around behind the wife as she looks at any number of bags that all look the same to me, I noticed a Puma store so went in. Managed to get a pair of speed cats for £30 and a pair of Puma drift shoes. To make things even better, it was buy one get one half price so both pairs only cost £50. I'm still failing miserably with the picture re sizing but I'll ask the aforementioned wife to do them for me.

Only a minor bump, the van handbrake didn't hold and it slowly rolled down the hill with the driver chasing it. I'll tell you the full story when I see you - you won't believe it. It's only bodywork damage to the fibreglass "nose" (nothing structural) which doesn't look much but will no doubt run to several thousand. No worries his insurance is paying 😄

Sorry to hear this. I hope that nobody was hurt. Is it just cracked or more more serious? Car still derivable? Fingers crossed for you

A quick update, i'm using the car quite often and with the refreshing temperatures that we had here in the last couple of week (around 35-38 Celsius), i'm quite happy to report that the engine temperature is doing quite well, i think i can still improve it but it's working better than expected. Now i need to find what is randomly causing my battery to go flat after 3 or 4 days if i'm not using the car, but this is for another story.

I'm not aware of any Superspec owner that has fitted one. If it help the steering column is off a Mondeo.

On account of a runaway van rolling into the front of my car, I'm in need of someone who can repair it. Can anyone recommend a repairer near Stoke-on-Trent ? Thanks, Steve

and that'll just be me screaming for joy

Hi all, returning to the fold….is there a recommended detachable steering wheel for the Super Spec version of RH. Regards KitCat

👍

We will hear you coming Trev

Not updated this for a while. All the carpets are now in place. Grip tape added to pedals and a bit of general tidying. The trim has been completed and I just need to fix the rear roll bar stays. The fixing kit sent appear too big. Should I just file out the holes slightly to enable fixing?

I want to obtain a Clubman 7 badge for the nose cone ,I am in Australia, can anybody direct to the right area please.

I'm in. Booked Friday to Sunday, pitch 30.

I've booked pitch 26 - hopefully arriving Friday & staying until Sunday 😃

Hoping to see you this year , Sharon & Kerry

So - just checking, the show is definitely cancelled? On carshowco it still gives you the opportunity to but tickets???

You can just go for an electronic module to replace the points or fully programmable systems with all the whistles & bells, it all depends how much you want to spend. Have a look at these websites for some ideas - https://accuspark.co.uk/ https://simonbbc.com/ https://123ignition.com/ https://www.aldonauto.co.uk/default.aspx Just replacing the points is a good improvement on it's own. I've used both the Aldon Amethyst (on a pinto) and the Accuspark Black Box (on a Cologne V6) and can recommend both. Steve
