    Meetings

    Nothing really in Scotland.... SKCC ( Scottish Kit Car Club ) do organise going to quite a lot of going to shows and have a weekend run in July or August. ( Balado 'Steam in the Park' was good and well attended ) We ( well Jamie Turbo ) did try to organise a run to Applecross a couple of years back but the weather and people backing out at last minute scuppered the plan. Might be better if we try and organise something with the North East lot and have a play in the Borders.... I tend to have a blat down the back roads to St Mary's Loch for a wee run out.

    didn't take the Ballater road then...... You will................... Looks pretty good - I would sort out the dash though - engine??????
  7. MOT Tester confirmed speedo not checked and is not a fail point. The 2B passed again
  8. Don't think you need a speedo at all for MOT Have an MOT tomorrow so will check.....
  9. Have to say I would consider going the wishbone conversion way. At your early build stage it is easier than building it then ripping it apart to do the conversion later.
  10. put locost wings as a search in ebay - you will find plenty
  11. Premier Wiring or Vehicle Wiring Products have multi-connectors

  14. Seem to remember at the time they 'adjusted' it they said they would not reduce it when VAT went up again. What do you expect - tax grabbing b@st@rds........... Come the revolution..............

    Rbs

    I do some work for RBS as an IT consultant a few of the better known brands I have worked on are Nat West Churchill Direct Line Coutts Green Flag Citizens ABN Ambro Lombard Tesco Finance WorldPay ( + about 9 mortgage brands from memory ) etc etc etc It is only the few that get rewarded and most of my fellow contractors have already been replaced by Indian centres in the last few months - it is really not a rosy looking future up here - so if a few investment bankers make RBS large amounts of profit to edge RBS nearer to profit and get a bonus then I am not too unhappy if it results in me keeping in employment. I think RBS is the biggest employer in Scotland and the economy here would go down the tubes ( even more than now ) without it. Yes I do think the scale of the rewards is all wrong - but look at football...... Ho Hum
  16. At my SVA I revved the car to a shown 4200 revs and it was revving its nuts off. Got the VOSA guy to put on their rev counter - mine was miles out......
  17. OK - I can do Lothian and Borders

    Cover

    there are a couple of 'car trimmers and upholsterers' over in Loanhead - might be worth a visit. I got one of them to sew some seams on my doors....

    Gbsc Alternator Kit

    measure what lenghth of belt you need ( string? ) Halfords part nos reflect the length in mm.
  20. mini / landrover setup is the easiest ( 3 wipers on mine )
  21. Best to add some multi-pin connectors - makes the dash easy to remove
