My advice is to do the tie-bar mods first as I think you will find a massive difference once it's done, I am using the original springs on mine as they suit my driving style, as yes they do go up and down. I have fitted softer springs on the rear 150lb and my car handles really well.

Great news Harry, any time you want to have a run out just give me a shout and I will be more than happy to join you.

It doesn't look like you have much room on the new brackets for fitting door supports especially if you have to change the door angle to line them up with the car. Better off using the old ones refurbished.

Good to hear from you Allan, for you and any one else that can't remember where we meet, it is the Church Mouse, Front Street, Chester Moor, Chester-le-Street, DH23RJ. We meet at 7-30 pm on the last Wednesday of every month. So anyone who wants to attend, you are more than welcome. See you on the 26th May.

I am looking to restart the monthly meetings from the last Wednesday in May the 26th. This will be an outside meeting, provided that the weather cooperates, we have had the meeting outside in the car park before, and we should be able to keep inside the numbers permitted outside. Good chance to get the cars out and catch up after a year without a meeting. Bring your brolly!!!!!

Really pleased for you after all the troubles you had with the other carbs.

The Scots and Welsh have their own flag but are part of the UK, so why can't I have a Scottish flag and be part of the UK Kit Car Club.

I am in sunny Northumberland, but I am an exiled Scot

Since we changed the Club badge I have been wanting a Scottish version so I had a bit play today.

The shocks I bought were Protech S400 SA-1.9 Single adjustable bonded bush 1.9 inch inside diam Open length13.5 in. M27 stem top, and 25mmx1/2 bottom eye, when fitted the distance between the mounting is 13.5 inch Springs I bought elsewhere and are1.9 ID 7 inch long and150lb rate.

If the car has been standing for a year have you had the tyres off the ground they could have flat spotted with standing, get wheel balance checked could have just lost a weight, do a nut and bolt check from the bellhousing through to the back wheels, check prop-shaft u.j.s, get the prop rebalanced. I would check one thing at a time and then try the car to eliminate as you go. Hope that helps you find the problem.

I went for my Covid jab today, so I used it a an excuse to have a trip out in the kit, for the first time in six weeks. Roll on the lifting of restrictions .

Not working for me.

I was given a base retting for twin 40s a while ago but I never got round to using it.If it is any good it was as below 32 chokes F11 emulsion tubes 136 mains 180 air 55f9 idle trouble is if you ask 10 different people what they are running you will get 10 different answers.

If the water is flowing in the system it seems to me that it must be by-passing the thermostat somehow, if not the water would heat up eventually even if the engine was running cool.

Do what my Dad used to do in the 50s/60s with his old Morris Minor, every winter he used to block off half of the radiator with a sheet of cardboard, no fancy radiator muffs for him.

Car Builder Solutions, have 13mm vacuum hose at £10. 80 per meter its not worth fitting second hand.

Yes the video is somewhere in the Robin hood 2B videos on Youtube I must warn you you may loose the will to live by the time you find it, I will take some photos today and post them tonight

It's the season for battery failures, i have just had to replace mine

As far as I know there are no plans for the fitting of the roof, other than the video 's which I'm sure you will have seen if you want any measurements or photos let me know as I have a Exmo roof fitted to my 3a which is a identical rear body to the Exmo

The doors on the Exmo, 2B. and 3A are call the same, I know as I tried them all when I had my Exmo even the hood fitted the same. And you are fitting them on the wrong side of the car.

Can you not panel beat it out and and get it straight enough to cover with wrap. I know others have got in touch with GBS about getting a new bonnet made but I don't know how successful they have been. i i

Welcome to you both, it's a shame it is such a bad time for socialising as I would like to meet up with you, The N.E.area covers from Berwick in the North down to where you are, so in normal times we have two meetings a month, one in Darlington and one at Chester Le Street. Obviously at the moment all meetings are cancelled, but hopefully we can get them started again soon (wishful thinking?) Anyway welcome and keep in touch on the forum and don't hesitate to ask for help as some-one on here will have the answer.

Cold and damp, but that has never worried me, just as well living in this part of the country.
