Thank's for the advice, I shall order some and try and get someone local to thread the ends.

Would any of these be suitable do you think?

Would anybody happen to know what the pivot bar in the top wishbone is made of, e.g. are they stainless or mild steel? It's been years since I last had them out and cannot remember. I need to make a couple of new ones as mine are worn.

Please add Helen and myself to the list. Thanks, Nigel.

I use a 90 degree and the sweep looks like this:

If they are the original shocks then the large nut is actually 2 nuts locked together, a thick and a thin one: I made a couple of spanners from 5mm thick steel to undo the bolts: I have a series 3 with inboard shocks and the nuts are a bugger to undo but they do need to be loosened to release the spring compression.

I usually go to Stoneleigh on the Sunday, see you there.

I made one for my S3 using an american tow hitch that fits in a receiver which makes it removable; I used a sheet of 5mm steel that bolted on the boot floor and also extends onto the tunnel and it bolted there as well. A length of square tube was welded onto the sheet and is the receiver tube: The tow hitch had to be bought from the states: The hitch is held in place by a removable pin: The hitch fitted: The hitch removed and the hole covered: I use it to tow a small trailer and a trailer tent: It works well and the sheet of steel also reinforces the boot floor so it does not flex when the car is jacked up using the diff.

The weather was sorted by Al again, nice and sunny, well done. Good to see you all again, my head just about survived the argument with the low ceiling beam! Being 6ft 3in can have its draw backs in an old pub!

I fitted AVO to my series 3, cost £205 direct from AVO in 2005. Much better than the original RHE supplied ones. PA160/105 (16" open 10.5" closed) Stem Top Poly Bottom (0.5" bolt) 1.9" Spring 10" free length 175lb

It's number 004 for me

Hi Al, can you add myself and Helen to the list, lets hope for good weather. Nigel.

Sorry, going to airshow at Duxford.

Unfortunately have had to take my mother to hospital so will not be there with the car, might make it on foot later on.

They are not sending out passes, you have to use the link on the entry confirmation e-mail and print out the joining instructions and pass. This can be done after the 1st August, I have done done it and got my pass OK.

Helen and I are booked in to go to Stamford as long as we don't have to fit an outboard motor to the car! We need you back to ensure the sun is out

Weather not looking good, heavy rain forecast from midday and all afternoon so looks like a washout. Nigel.

Helen and I shall be there as well. Nigel.

Rain has stopped play here in South Lincs!

It could be these people: http://rnraluminium.co.uk/ they are in the program.

Registered as well Thanks Nigel.

Unfortunately I will not be there tomorrow as I am on decorating duty!

All the info is here http://www.autosport...gajolt_Lite_Jr. scroll down to find the version you are using. I have a V3 on my pinto, I fitted the trigger wheel on the back of the crank pulley: And the coil pack on a cut down distributor:

Cannot put photos in the Event topic for some reason? Some photos of the day, the first car was a bit of a dog!
