Next Wednesday 24th, 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.

Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat.

Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.

Everyone welcome. See you there.

Can you turn the pinion shaft with the flange when the nut is loose?

I think at next month's meet we should discuss a change of venue for future meets.

The Malt Shovel has been on its arse for a while and it's no good having meets in Summer when they want to kick us out at 9.

The pub is shutting at 8pm tonight due to a road closure. If you haven't left yet, don't bother.

Kit is coming up to it's first MOT in June, anyone know if you can present 30 days early & maintain the anniversary date like you can with a normal MOT?

In a word, no.

If you present it early for the first MOT and it passes, the second MOT will be due 12 months from that date. It's only at the second MOT that you can present it early and still maintain the actual due date

Price added for you.

My V5 shows no former keepers.

Built by me with single donor and IVA'd in 2011

Special notes section 3 states 'Kit built / converted. Assembled from parts all of which may not be new.'

Just shows lack of consistency in how DVLA register cars.

You can buy just the rubbers off Ebay but better to replace the whole joint which is a Ford Transit drag link end. More details here: https://nw.rhocar.org/htm/parts.htm

They come in LH and RH threaded versions, you want RH. Quniton Hazel part number would be QD1117RH

It won't be a 5 minute job to swap.

Mk3, 4 or 5 Cortina, (double wishbone front suspension.

Are they LED by any chance?

No draught beers available tonight, hope no-one is put off.

I've made a booking to eat at 7pm. If anyone else wants to join us let me know.

Thanks guys. If anyone else wants you join us, let me know asap. I'll make a provisional booking later this week.

I know the car, I did work on it for a previous owner so what follows is based on what I saw when I worked on it in 2021.

The speedo works off GPS it isn't driven off the gearbox / transmission. My recommendation is get rid of it and replace it with one that does.

The rev counter - I think this is actually another speedo but I couldn't tell for sure because I didn't have any instructions for it but from memory, I think it did have another GPS input which is why I didn't think it was a rev counter. I left it with the 4 wire connector disconnected.

Just needs Windows 3.1 to run the disc!!

Spammers, and now they're banned.

To keep the table bills simple, most people normally opt for the carvery but other options are available:

Meet up from 7PM onwards and aiming to eat around 7-30.

I like to give the pub a rough headcount in a couple of week's time and then give them a more exact numbers a few days before the event so if interested parties can pencil it in their diary and let me know as soon as possible please.

Everyone welcome (including ladies and kids) and new members (or those thinking of joining) are especially welcome.

Keep the original stalks, changing to toggle switches is a massive pain in the ar5e, particularly if you want the wipers to self park.
