Knock-on

Oi Marcus How much for the Lady on Your Profile. In fact, how much for her onthe Bonnet. In fact....!!!...????xxxxxxx (BTW, cheers Nick. Looks great but can you make it bigger? Would like "Knockie" to stand out more if poss

I'll order one now Nicky old fruit. Can you do "Knockie" on it the same as yours? Resend me your PayPal account when you're ready. (Now, about the rest of the bonnet )

1. Why cannot the rack be moved over? 2. If you can't move it over, why not extend the track rod end?

I have never used Adrian Flux but would never even consider them because of the blazing trail of disgruntled and mislead customers and former customers on here. I do have experience with Frank Pickles and have found them to be cheap and have great customer service in my opinion.

Hi Stuart I can do it for you for £90 plus postage. Will drop you a PM later with details.

^^^ The winner is Mat ^^^ My effort: "Hoddie can't take any more debates on Sliding Pillar and Light Weight issues.

Shouldn't have to remove anything not connected with he chassis. Just undo the bolts between GB and engine, a tappy, tappy to split and Bobs you'r Auntie. If you need to move the car, I suggest a strap around the cross member to support the GB.

Be interesting to find out who it is as I'm quite often out there seeing my Mum.

There are thousands of 2b's out there sitting in garages with nothing to do. I wouldn't worry too much as ebay will have them for decades to come.

Bargain. £1500 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Robin-Hood-2B-Starter-Kit-/260617206969?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cadfefcb9

I'm not the greatest fan of the Sabelt harnesses supplied with the kit but they are adequate and I haven't had any issue with slippage. Notimpressed may be right and it could be how they're threaded.

Probably a similar configuration to me Bob. I'm running Caterham wishbones which is much more suitable IMHO. These aren't mine but similar. Because of the angle of the suspension unit and wider mounting point, a lighter spring is preferable.

That's what it's for mate. Had a look at the Pinto one but doesn't it leave gaps? Don't have a Zetec one but thought it may have more material. However, if you're sure I need a Pinto one, I'll go with your recommendation as you've fit it already Had a nightmare today. Went to put the starter on and no way Jose!!! F**king engine out again to get the sump off so thought I would shorten it and put a plate on the housing. 2 steps forward and one step back. Zorst turns up next week and reckon will be there by the end of June (bit of Gardening leave). Popping up for a beer one day? PS How do I change the Topic. Need a pinto one now.

Has anyone got a Zetec Bellhousing / Engine cover plate going spare? Cheers

I was thinking lots of things about holes and bears, all of which was totally inappropriate and would have me banned, locked up or both.

It really all depends on your suspension geometry as there is no definitive answer. I think that Dave from Dampertech recommends 300lb all round but may be wrong. It was a long time since I spoke with him. What is critical is to get them set up right. It's a bit like tuning an engine. The most cost effective, simple and best thing to do is to get the manifolds and block matched and get all tuned and working properly on a RR session. The same is true with suspension. You can have the wrong configuration and make it work but it's always best to get the basics correct with some expert input. As Robin Hoods tend to vary between specific models, let alone between different models or even converted suspension from Pillar, there is no "one size fits all" answer. Personally, I am starting with a converted sliding pillar to double wishbones but mine are different from every Robin Hood out there because we took the decision that we were not going to mount on the top chassis. I have started off with 300lb but will not know till I get it out on track whether this is correct or needs changing. I'm also running a Zetec which is slightly lighter. If you have a standard (ish) configuration, then go with what you have to a suspension specialist and see what they come up with. If you haven't got anything yet then 325lb isn't a bad place to start.

Is it called a "Seemed like a good idea at the time but had a couple of pints too many and now the Missus is gonna kill me if I don't replace it"? I think i had one of those recently as well

That'll teach me. Did a search for Trunk Racing for a laugh and found loads of pictures of blokes wearing Speedos. Uhhhhhh!!!

Hi Gareth I don't know if you have a 2B but I have the same box with cable clutch / accelerator and 0.7 and 0.75 master cylinders. Firstly I have bolted a 5mm piece of plate through the side chassis rail right up across the floor and then bolted the box to this. Then I got some bar to go from the floor on the tunnel side to the cross member that supported the old pedal box. Finally, you can rivet the bar to the steel clutch housing tunnel for added rigidity. That Momma aint going anywhere! It is easier if you have removed the cross member to fit the water housing and rewelded it back up closer to the scuttle to get a better angle for the support.

What time is he in Guildford till on Friday? May pop over.

Can anyone confirm that these are the same as the Pinto ones? Pretty sure they are the same but nowhere near my engines at the moment Cheers

Any chance of updating the Facebook page or emailing me photo's from Stoneleigh and I will.

I used tape around my Pinto manifold and it helped. One word of advice though, be very careful with the SS tie wraps. They are razor sharp and lethal!!
