Shaft

Sorry, it's sold. Tried to reply by PM to you, but it say's your inbox is full, so won't send it. Cheers Nick.

Hi Steve, the best way to form a 'Seat' for the fuel tank is as follows. 1; Mark on tank where the chassis rails will be and remove tank to your bench. 2; Stick brown parcel tape to the tank where you marked it. 3; Lightly abrade the chassis rails where the tank will contact and degrease / clean using thinners. 4; Apply a GOOD bead of Sikaflex or similar to the chassis. 5; Place tank on sikaflex and work it down until your happy with how it sits. 6; Ratchet strap or clamp in place and leave to dry. ....... ....... 7; Lift away tank and trim excess Sikaflex away to leave a clean perfectly formed saddle for your tank. 8; Don't use masking tape instead of parcel tape........ *bleep* to blanket springs to mind. Hope this helps mate. Nick.

Welcome Graham, i picked my kit up Friday just gone. I was counting the time left in number of sleeps to go!! So your not the only one to revert back to being a kid!! Good luck with the build mate, and this forum is excellent in every way. Nick.

Hi, shell sold via Ebay. Bloke turned up with trailer, i lifted the whole shell up with block & tackle and he reversed trailer underneath. He was well impressed, it only took 10 mins. Then the penny dropped for him, how do i get it off when i get home??????? Don't know how i kept a straight face mate, he was worrying like a gud un!! What you putting in the block then?? standard or steel stuff?? Nick

Hi fellow Hoody's, finally collected my Zero Plus kit today. Here's a pic of me and my mate (he got the heavy end!!) carrying the chassis to the operating table. All went well...... if you ignore the fact they had no shocks in stock, the dash was cut out for clocks when i'd asked for a blank one and the rear arches had more cracks in than an antique vase! Nice to see GBS keep giving us things to laugh about on here. Seriously though, well pleased, and as the title say's...... Let battle commence. Thanks in advance for all the questions that are sure to follow. Nick.

Hi peeps, only slightly (read... very) excited now....... so had to share it on here. Picking my Zero up Friday morning, so let battle commence. oh yeah, did i mention, only 2 more sleeps to go! Nick.

Steve, sorry to barge in with off topic questions on your post mate, but, Dan......... Whats the Bestek system?? I've never heard of it. Always have my ears open to advice mate, only mentioned Megajolt due to having used it before. Thanks, Nick.

I'm also putting a 205 Pinto in my Zero. Just sent my 900 blade carbs, 38mm bore (full power versions) to Bogg Bros for set up, re jet etc....... alloy inlet manifold also, not like the steel ones from GBS . Going for a R32 or R33 cam (not sure yet) and mega jolt. Hoping to get @ 150 - 155bhp from it?? HTH in your decision. Nick.

Hi Tony, i thought that too mate, but followed the process anyway. Eventually it said, this will make you a member until 31st Dec 2010. Thought that must be right, so clicked ok and paid via PayPal, all sorted. Got me new tone of yellow banner to boot! Go here mate............. http://community.rhocar.org/upgrademe.php HTH Nick.

Hi peeps, I've got a pair of Sierra front brake calipers available if they could help somebody out. They are for vented discs and came from a 1988 2.0 GLSi. Full working order but would need Beautifying for use on your motor. Easy clean job, not massively scabby with rust. Cheers all, message me if interested. Oh, nearly forgot.......... they are free of charge for collection. Thanks, Nick.

Hi peeps, I'm looking into ordering a set of Willwood front brakes and am wanting to know......... Because i removed vented discs from the donor, do i need vented discs from Willwood or will solids (grooved) fit? Not sure if the caliper spacing / centre line of the disc will be different? and also what diameter am i after?? All help / knowledge appreciated. Hubs are 1988 Sierra GLSi. Thanks in advance. Nick.

Hi James, that's a credit to you mate. Looks well finished. Hope mine turns out looking as good. Nick

Hi Darren, just solder a resistor (cost pence) in the 12v supply and that wil quieten it down. Or solder a variable resistor in (such as a volume knob from an old car radio) and then you can simply turn it down. HTH. Nick.

Hi Darren, a person is only limited by their imagination mate. You go for it. Make a mock up in cardboard and stick pictures of possible gauges on it. you can play about to your hearts content then until something appears that you like. BEST OF MATE.... Nick.

Welcome Darren, you'll come to love this place mate, there's always somebody that knows! In great detail aswell. Mark, i quote.......... "this site is better than a haynes manual". I'll second that. Nick.

Hi Andi, many Congrats mate. Let battle commence then......... I've 2 girls 8 & 5, threatening to Ebay them seems to make them behave! lol. Remember, the wife will always be blooming and radiant, never, never frumpy or hormonal........ Best of mate. Nick.

Hi Graham, i've got one if you want it mate. £10 inc P&P. From a 1998 2.0 Pinto GLSi Regards, Nick

I have just sent a set of fireblade carbs to Bogg Brothers. strip clean rejet for Pinto and supply alluminium manifold. £257 inc vat. very helpful on the phone also. cheers Nick

lmao

How much for the Milky Way inc P&P? mmmmhhhhhhh........... Milky Way. PMSL.

eh, guys, don't say too much........... I've Sky+ it and not watched it yet. lol. Straight after work tomorrow before the kids get home from school, on it goes.

Cheers for the reply. I've been quoted £257 inc vat by Bogg Bros for the carbs to be stripped, cleaned and re-jetted and to supply an alluminium bespoke inlet manifold. I think that sounds pretty good unless anybody knows different?? lol. How does the Megajolt system look / fit / work?? Also, where's best to get it?? These 4 pot lumps are all new to me, i'm a V8 boy!! Thanks all, Nick

Hi all. I'm after some advice please. What Cam would be best suited to fit into my engine i'm about to overall / rebuild? It's a 2.0l Pinto, 205 block with EFi head (big valve type?? i believe). Going to be running on CBR900 Fireblade full power carbs. Aldon Dizzy. Road use only, but i appreciate a kick in the back when the loud pedal is abused. Cheers peeps, Nick.
