Gutted.

We will have to rename the EOSB to EONSB end of no season bash!

Nice car not much to be done for IVA.

Look good, obviously they would not be any good for IVA but should be OK of the light pattern is straight or left, if right then MOT tester may reject them.

Looks good to me, Claire obviously did not explain correctly!

Here's one with cable, technically you could fit small spade terminals on the fly leads and this would work.

Getting the plug is the easy part, I suspect you might have to make the other side by cutting an an coil down.

Thank you, MrBarry.

I will pm you my contact details.

Great work Richie, if you are board I could do with a Surrey top. I'm willing to pay for your excellent workmanship, creep creep!

you feel you need a cup holder? I would consider if you need a high performance sports car.

That might work, and as it happens I have damaged the centre console and this would cover it up.

I was thinking something small that can be folded away or something I could put into the tunnel.

Hi all,

I currently do not have cup holders in the kit car and often have a bottle of water or coffee, with no passenger to carry them what have you fitted and where?.

Photos please.

Hi,

Is anybody a qualified electrician in the Midlands area, I need a non-priority shower switch fitted for ensuite, razor socket, 2 spots and replace shower extractor. I have all the parts because my brother was going to fit them but needs to return back to work in Kent.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Thanks

Same here booked the Elan hotel.

Well those figures are backed up here too, but it does seem to refer to ARP bolts

If money was no object, I would have a constantly full tank of petrol and use the car as it should be.

Fuel price is doing well, watch it go up significantly when lockdown is completely over and the government tax the hell out of it to clear the billions of debt.

Isn't it great how members help each other in this club. Well worth the membership fee, can't wait to meet up at EOSB after lockdown.

Your main end bolts are typically much bigger though, plus they're not getting flung around at several thousand rpm I would just suspect the loading on the rods is higher than the crank caps, but that's just my FingerInTheAir-o-meter working rather than anything quantifiably backed up by science

I agree, plus the Conrod is only 2 small bolts versus 10 for main end bolts and much larger. 

I will try on the weekend and follow Tiger Racing instructions I have a calibrated torque wrench. What could possibly go wrong.....famous last words.

It appears we are always repairing, modding or enhancing our kitcar's. So got me thinking money tends to be the main issue for holding most people back.

If money was not an issue what would be your next mod on your kitcar? Buying another kitcar is not an option.

For me I would like to replace the old Sierra loom, everything works but it has been extended, shortened and soldered to death.

Thanks Maca, I have a spare engine if it goes bang!

I had the same issue, so decided to buy some leatherette and make my own to my measurements. First one went in the bin, but second one has been on for 5 years. I used some yellow thread to match the dash.

Thanks Maca, I was not sure if this applies when I am replacing the bolts with the ones from Tiger Racing. They say 60 lbs ft. I feel more comfortable with angle guage.

Hi Dave,

When my son was younger I used one of these and worked well.

Hi,

I have looked on the internet and I am getting different results.

Does anyone know the torque setting when fitting ERA sump to ST170? I have to undo 4 main cap bolts to fit the windage tray.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks Mark
