Apologies?! Because you haven’t got a kit car any more it does not mean you should not participate or your suggestions carry less weight… Thank you for your suggestion and please stay in touch!

Apologies for butting in, especially as I don't have my kit any more, but I thought I'd recommend a couple of better meet points: 1. Denbies vineyard 2. Newlands Corner. Both have large, free car parks, toilets and cafes and nice roads in the area.

Robin Hood deliberately offset the engine to allow a wider tunnel for the peddle box. This gives the driver a bit more foot room round the peddles.

I’ve got a pinto running what I think is cbr600 carbs. What’s the best way to adjust these? Splutters and stops from cold unless run for some time

It's close enough. You'll probably need to adjust the position slightly to get the exhaust to miss the steering shaft.

Thank you for the replies. I think I will have to go with what I (think) I remember. Mick.

Does this look right. The string is centred on the chassis, engine is off to one side.

I'll be there

Don't worry Andi - I'll drink your beer for you, it won't go to waste

Next Wednesday 30th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL. Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat. Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island. Everyone welcome, see you there.

The weather looks good for Sunday. We are meeting in Hornbeam Lane LE15 9BF, as usual, and leaving there at 10:30. Please let me know if you are going to join us.

Of course I would normally be there. But we're flying back from Thailand on Thursday on a lush 17hr flight

Recently upped the idle jets to 17.5

Mine are 1.7 and use std mechanical pump with a malpassi regulator on its lowest setting.

I am going to fit Yamaha R1 carbs to my 2L Pinto using a Danst inlet manifold. I did it on a previous RH and was impressed with the ease of setup and the instant throttle response. However, I have a very poor memory so could someone confirm or correct the following? I think that all I had to do to the carbs was drill out the main jets to 1.5mm. I then had to fit an electrically operated low pressure fuel pump producing 1 to 2psi. Job done. Thanks. Mick.

Thank you so much, David, for your fantastic feedback and thoughtful suggestions! That’s exactly what I was hoping this post would spark—getting the ball rolling. Given the size of the London & South East Area, which covers 12 counties, it’s understandably a challenge to find a single meeting point that works for everyone. My long-term goal is to host one meeting per county to ensure broader accessibility, along with an annual event for the entire region. I'm very open to ideas and always up for finding creative solutions—so please don’t hesitate to reach out with venue suggestions and location ideas from across the South East. I’ll do my best to bring something together that works for as many people as possible.

We normally meet on the last Thursday of the month and you're always welcome to join us, with or without your kit. We do try to make it in our kits but often "issues" or the weather mean we're in tintops. Steve

Would love to come and meet some of you guys my RH has just gone into my mates body shop for some paintwork though (Gutted) it’s not back until Saturday, if I’d have seen this beforehand I would have postponed it!!

I still have EXMO build DVDs (Copies of the VHS), Message me to discuss logistics if you want copies.

4x Alloys with Olympic Javelin tyres 185/60r14 Old but essentially new tyres, collection in Briston Norfolk, great condition and happy to give to a member for free if will help them

Hi. I've just had to replace my steering rack. Donor was a 1985 Sierra 2wd rhd non power steering. It need a refurb as the plastic bush on the nearside needs replacing. You can still buy a kit of the plastic bits for about £20. I would have done it but the access cover to the pinion needs a special 4 pronged tool to undo. It was suggested that I make one but my skills aren't up to it. I was lucky with an eBay purchase of a replacement so went ahead with that which has worked well. Anyone interested in my old one to refurbish? It comes with the tie rods. I don't want a lot. They seem to go for good money if working well. Maybe £40 including uk postage?

That seems quite a bit out, even by RH standards - as I remember, a washer or two was needed on mine but I think you're going to need more than 2 there!

Hi there. I have to say well done for all the research you've done and your suggestion for meets. I thought I'd just give you a bit of feedback. I live near Chichester and would be into a meet in that area you've suggested although it's nearing the edge of my comfort zone but I'm afraid I wouldn't take my car anywhere near the M25. I really hope you get some takers though. There are a few of us in my area and I'll make sure they know about it. I have mentioned this before but had no interest. There is a local car club based in Storrington called Sadcase. If you Google Sadcase Car Club you'll find out what it is short for. Basically any car is welcome to their meets at various pubs and events. Out of interest there is a meet at Amberley Museum this Wednesday 23rd April at 5pm after closing. We pay £2 entrance which goes to the museum. Huge mix of cars but it would be nice to see more Robins. I know it's a long way for most members though. Hope you don't mind me mentioning it.

Does anyone have copies of the DVD's or other veresion?

I could be interested and have a pas-out. Lets see if I have the handbrake fixed or am in one of the Saabs.
