M K had a fully built "7" at Donington a couple of years ago;some tie up with a Dutch company I believe,but it was expensive & needed water cooling for the electronics!

I chopped all the non-essential? bits off the Recaro (Sierra) runners (all rivets so grind--carefully) & fitted them to our Cobra seats ; difficult to fit cos' you can't see or get your puddies in the limited space---only made possible with stiff card template & ----patience, but saves £25+ per side & all the sparks are pretty.

No matter where your shop is --- High Street or E-bay--- there are always "customers" who demand something for nothing & get right shirty (-r) if they don't get more than they are paying for---such is life.

Why didn't you buy from ETB direct -- they're in the kit mags from £199 per set -- but more if you want electronic speedo -- was GBS speedo electronic or mechanical?

The pen is mightier than the sword-- so we're told -- but I bet your heart-felt missive wont make a jot of difference ; unfortunately.

That's why there's a long,long lectrical rod from the HAND-BRAKE

Every-one down here in the beautiful South KNOWS it won't snow proper until Easter & the wind will be Gale Force 8 --- BBQ with frozen extremities & the tent blown away.

That didn't work --not good 'nough for this lectric paper-work. Could you not park all your cars head-on to get them all in?

THAN OU

Don't tell porkies, your hand is going for the AUTO switch as the wheels come up---then AUTO off as wheels go down---ain't technology wonderful; the high quality training is for when it don't go --as above.

Why does Ian's & cCarol's posts not fit my screen? Is their's twice as wide to accomodate the Wedding Cake;sorry Car??

My wife & I shall be pleased to accept your most kind invitation to dine at the "Barleycorn" 7.30 for 8 -- silly dress & crackers optional,regards Bob & sylvia.

Go well Mate, will your daughter be working on the car -- or will boys -- interupt her? While the cat's away --- --- Don't worry you brought her up right -- she loves motors.

YOur P.S. confirms my question & with a switch diagram which you posted many moons ago ALL should be revealed; your help is always wecome it's just that we (I) don't always remember it thus may-be testing your patience some-what. Regards Bob.

NO; could of suggested drawing a vector diagram to calc. load imposed & cross-brace needed; but what's an old Vauxhall got to do with it --carry on working on the lorry o' lumber prob is best.

The cat would not agree--probably.

Visualise your chassis made with Meccano-- & the bolts not quite tight--now all the stresses in welded corners are converted to movement about the Meccano "bolt" --if it can move a lot it can collapse or at least fracture around the heat-affected zone (weld) there-fore square or trapezium = bad; triangle = good so make triangles in any space-frame which has to withstand variable high loads. P.S the above probably explaines why I can't get my planes to fly--over engineered.

Will that make a difference Chris? Are not the switches electrically isolated from both + & -- until one or other are connected by wiring? It's the relays on the donor loom where the poz. or neg. prob would start & Dave aint got any of those (it's the salt air--plays havoc with your appendages)

My thanks to you,ACE, & all the other posters (posties??) I am grateful for all your work on the legal/rules side. We (me) only want to spend our time playing with our cars (& making sure they are fit for purpose) not dealing with the reams of paper generated by Brussels & London. Please continue the fight so we can continue playing, regards Bob.

When we were in business last; about 4 years ago; I seem to remember it was around £85 for a bottle of Smart Water which you could "paint on" your vunerable kit; any chance of more official info, Enforcer, may give us punters the tool to aid your anti-crime efforts-- don't forget the discount for RHOcar members!!

Think Andy means relays, Dave + fuses would be good, put in one for high & one for dip-- there's a FOR SALE on here for the switches you require.

Used a standard door switch with a thin bracket -switch could then be pushed past off without being broken- an auto brake fluid test + handbrake ON warning has got to be best-- especially for old forgetful fools like me.

Tis too late once your kits been nicked but for those of you worried about losing tools how about SMART WATER. It's full of micro-dots unique to you(I think) spray it over your kit, dries on & near impossble to remove - so stolen kit can be identified, check it out with your local crime prevention officer or may-be ENFORCER could give us an official view.

Thanks Jaff, I'll send the donkey a carrot--you know--long orange pointy thing--just don't stick it in his ear--makes him go round in circles--then you get no lectric-telegraphy-massages at all--stick it in his mouth--the hole with teeth--NOT the hole with tail over--that'll make im run up 'ere --rapid like

Thanks Jaffa, takes a while for news to reach those far-off places I suppose---was looking to return the copper to half-hard--as per "new" tube 'cause after cooking to braizing temp its very soft--you can almost leave finger-prints in it--I have tried to use older (2nd hand) stock where poss. as it's thicker wall--not the bend it & create a razor-blade stuff you get to-day.
