Back on the road

[Tim Wright]

Hi all, had to share the joy that after a summer of careful resuscitation, many replacement sensors, 20yr old tyres, fluids and partial rewire, "Britney" is back on the road after 10 years rest. Sailed through the Mot so just awaiting a dry sunny day to get her out and about....

Great work, well done...

Congratulations, hopefully you'll get chance for a run out before winter sets in - just have to judge it in between storms !

I've got to ask, why "Britney" ?

All the best, Steve

Cheers Phil & Tim, you've brightened a wet afternoon

Thanks guys, hoping to lose the hair in the wind, or is it, get the wind in the hair, before the winter sets in.

Shout out to Al and his mems software that helped diagnose many a faulty engine sensor

Great to see another Superspec on the road. Looks good. And unusual to see the handbrake mounted on the right of the driver’s seat instead of by the passenger seat. How is the cable linkage arranged?

[Tim Wright]

I'll have to take a couple of photos of the hand brake etc tomorrow and post them for reference. It's coming up to 20yrs since we built it and I can't remember the details!

[Tim Wright]

Not an easy one to see,  but the handbrake cable passes through 2 nylon guide blocks through to the middle of the seat anchorage angled cross plate, then up and around to each brake. 

Hope the pictures help!
