  7. Doesn't matter now, Newark/Lincoln has been Cancelled "It is with great regret that we announce that the Lincoln Kit Car Show has been cancelled. We had hoped that the move from Newark to Lincoln would have been a good one for the show but unfortunately there has not been enough interest from trade to justify running the show."
  8. Last week
  9. Listing has now gone live on eBay, lower opening bid
  10. The only issue I can think of is if you are looking to get an age related registration number. You would then need to show proof of the minimum number of parts from the original donor vehicle, or alternatively you would need to provide proof of the minimum number of new parts for a new reg number. Either way I don't imagine an LSD will make any difference to the IVA test ............................ however, somebody may know otherwise
  11. Raising the seat height wont be an issue. Currently the seat is bolted to a frame which is 20mm off the floor and the frame is bolted to cross members in the chassis that are pre drilled, hence the specific dimensions. By using runners, the seat frame wont be used so the difference will be minimal if at all. The car is a MEV TR1ke Mike
  12. One thing to think about is that seat runners will raise your seat about 1 inch. It does not sound much but put some packing on the seat and evaluate the view through the windscreen, where is the top rail? The screen can be raised but any hood will then also need adjusting. As someone the looks out through the top of the windscreen I am aware of it when driving. I have run out of adjustment. Also what car do you have as that can change advice.
  13. Hi all, Just got my new toy and starting to fiddle with it to make it just how I want it. The car has GRP seats and they are a little too far back for me. I would like to use adjustable runners/sliders whatever they are called! Currently, the seat is bolted to a frame through the seat base which is bolted to the floor. I'd rather not drill the floor so looking for a solution to use the existing mountings on the floor pan. I have no ability to weld or fabricate but can turn a ratchet from a socket set with some success!!!!! The holes in the floor pan are 275mm side to side and 330mm apart longways. I think, from what ive read im better off with a twin locking system rather than single sided as its more secure. Does anyone know of a suitable product I can install that would work with these dimensions? I've seen a lot of seat runners that state a maximum length of 310mm. Is that the plate or the amount of adjustment???? I hope there is a product out there that I can simply bolt into the existing holes and then bolt my seat to it. I look forward to your product suggestions and expertise.
  14. Can, or perhaps should I install a LSD before IVA? I am looking at a quaife ATB kit for my open Sierra 7" diff and would prefer to build in from start if possible. Is it allowed and are there any cons?
  15. Thank you Foz! Yes really fun to drive! Even if overtaking with RH drive in a LH country Is a bit challenging some times and this Monday I will start with changing the fuel pump and playing with the carbs a bit. After that probably the cooling system, but step by step the summer is started and I want to drive it a bit more, also I need to learn a few things before starting to works on it
  16. Had confirmatio from the organisers that we have a nice discrete club stand next to the castle but near the back (Square 46 on the site map). All the relevant details are in the attached PDF file. Any questions let me know. Kimbolton 2025.pdf
  17. Congratulations on getting it sorted. Now it's welcome to the world of kit cars where there is always something that needs doing, or something you want to change on the car, but always fun to drive it
  18. Well done on getting it on the road.
  19. Finally, after almost a year of burocracy between the department for transport and the historic cars registry, I'm the owner of the Robin hood 2b of my previous post. Now I need to start working on it, I used it this week almost as a daily driver. But it need some works, it's running quite hot and the carbs need some tuning, but I'm happy to finally be able to drive it
  20. Just got a pass out so we are in fighting distance.
