Tim, do you recon I've got my front & rear springs arse about face? What clearance have you got to underside of side panel-- at front--at rear of panel;cheers for your info. Reagrds Bob.

Hi, on my 2B+ I have 8" 300lb springs on the front & 10" 300lb springs on the back --all with Gaz shocks--hope that helps or I'm wrong way round.

Once again Ferrari show that they will do any-thing to win--on the track--in the pits--in the courts. The Shoemaker said years ago a win is a win--how is soon forgotten by most.

Hi all, would like to fit inertia reel belts to our 2B so my little wife & I can swap drivers with-out hassle. What height must the top swivel mount be? (reel bolted to floor chassis tube) Can I put a half-round bar up inside the vertical of the roll-over tube & threaded for the mounting bolt. What is the 3rd dimension for the reference block in the seat--136 x 53 x ? is 450mm the minimum mount height above this block or can the swivel mount be higher? Thanks in advance for valued replies. Regards Bob.

Hi Keith, thanks for the info; too heavy for my use but thanks for posting.

Hi keith, can you tell me what thickness & finish on your S/Steel? Also where abouts are you based. Cheers Bob

WE will be there with Wendy & Vic early on Sunday, what can we bring along to help dress-up our RHOCAR pitch? --Tables & chairs; parachute tent,--are we allowed to fix (tent pegs) anything to the ground? If we camp are we allowed to use a barbie for break-fast, cheers Malcolm see you Sunday week in glorious sun-shine (we've used up all the wet weather on our home BBQ's) Regards Bob & Sylvia.

Asteroid "Apophis" (Evil Egyptian God) first prediction Earth strike would be April 13 2029 (sorry I said 2025 from memory in ealier post) but after re-calculation this date changed to a near miss event (just brushing the outer atmosphere) It crosses earth path again on Easter Sunday 2036 when a strike is a slender possibility---- so enjoy while you can.

Are not the rear arms rubber mounted & therefor bolted up tight-- vertical movement causes rubber to twist in itself so can't seize only fail altogether? If front wish-bones are seized sugest adding a grease nipple to the inner side of the bush tube -- pump full of grease which will force the plastic bushes out (if wish-bone is off car) or free-off bearing. The inner tubes which lock the bone to the chassis are mild steel & likely to rust if installed "dry". Please shoot me down rapidly if you dis-agree!!

Realy old one's amoungst us will remember BELCO brushing cellulose (?) --paint it on --several thick coats-- then wet & dry--then cutting compound-- then T cut-- then polish-- to find you've rubbed though the finish.

The asteroid due to strike in 2025 or 2036 will totally mess-up any CO2 savings --so carry on burning fuel & rubber while you can--no worries!!!

Chris, where are you measuring springs & dampers from?, is it to centres of damper mounting holes or length of spring only-- does it make a difference what make- mine are Gas shocks & 300lb springs all round, thanks in advance.

It's easy to convert the motor to 1phase running provided all 6 ends from the windings are accessible-- the motor needs to be connected in DELTA-- A1 toC2-- A2 to B1-- B2 to C1 connect supply (230 volt ) across A1 - A2 & a new capacitor (25-30 microFarad) connected across B1 - B2 , cost about £15. The main down-side is you can't use your existing switch-gear & the power will be down somewhat.
