Only just long enough, but they have held for 17 years.

I think its an escort rack mk2? On mine there's a good bit of thread visible, it's been fine for years.

Andi, we got five cars at the West mids meet tonight let's see if Staffs can do better.

Not a bad turnout tonight, better than Malvern!. Let's see if Staffs can do better tomorrow.

I thought attendance might be a bit thin on Sunday, but!

The best thing you can do is put the zimmer ride shocks in the bin. I had an issue where the car started to ground out. The first issue was the springs had dropped, lost their tension? The second I found when I replaced the springs, the dampers had very little compression resistance and lots of rebound resistance. This meant that when you drove a rough road the ride height would drop.

I had these and would recommend you bin them. My springs failed, lost tension and the car lost ride height. The worst problem is the dampers they had very little compression resistance and a lot in rebound. You could close easily by hand and needed all your strength to extend. What this meant on the road is the car would botton out driving down a rough road or after hitting a few bumps. I changed to GAZ dampers all round and it made a huge difference to the handling.

At least you got your roof up, I got caught on the M69 on way home just had to push through it.

Big thanks to Richy for organising another epic run out to Wales. 520miles later I'm tired but chuffed, everyone made it a fun day to remember.

I'm ready for this re stocked with tie wraps and new exhaust bobbins.

I was thinking of the same, mid wales from Worcester maybe Devils Bridge then coast?

Sorry won't make this one, away for my 25th wedding anniversary.

Thanks route master Rich, an epic drive out today. Perfect weather where was everyone.?

Top bodgery today, exhaust bobbins snapped. Still solid 150miles later.

Ok 8:30 it is then.
