P. S. Cheaper alternative to the headphones is to use the helmet version and install in ear defenders. Just the mike support to engineer, you could use the bent coat hanger that replaced the radio aerial that's not needed anymore.

We use a Terratrip Professional intercom with clubman practice headsets. The intercom is in the boot with the coil cables coming out by the rollover hoop. I have an extension lead so I can plug in a mini DAB radio that plays through the headsets. A mobile phone can also be connected or a 2way radio. We use them all the time, saves a row when mis-understood commands are issued from the passenger seat. Its not cheap but the service from them has been great.

I have a C20XE in my 2B. Home made engine mounts but I cannot remember what flexibles I used. I have uprated the gearbox with a longer 1st which suits the engine much better, details are in the Winter 2017 mag page 12 here..... https://www.rhocar.org/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=25652 Kerry's instillation is top notch. I'm sure he is using a different gearbox after breaking a couple, along with several clutches.

We had a 16v GTE Astra back in the day so If you want a reg number H430 XRR

That's great, hopefully see you there weather permitting

Sounds interesting It's on our calendar fingers crossed for good weather.

Count us in Danielle. Let me know how to pay.

Perhaps check all the earths. I had a similar problem that baffled a number of people. I decided to replace the EFI loom, its separate to the car loom. When I was removing the old one I noticed one of the earth connections was a bit strange. Closer inspection revealed the inner wire had rotted away but the connector had been crimped onto the insulator so it looked good from the outside. Replaced the loom and all was well, I could have just repaired the old one but it was out of the car, hit the wall then fell onto the floor followed by a number of bad words.

I will not be running a dedicated kit car event at the GCR this year. HOWEVER the Ford Club are having an event there over the weekend of 10th and 11th July which we can join in. There will be trains running, the café will be open and I think there may be beer in the Tin Shed. No commitment, but if you could let me know if you are interested please I can pass numbers onto the organiser. The address is Woodhouse Road, Quon, Loughborough LE12 8AG. I believe the weather forecast is for endless sunshine all over the weekend (Somewhere!)

When I burgered my type 9 box I bought one of these, and it works a treat, you can hold 1st much longer.... ( I now run a Vauxhall red top mated to this gearbox) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Type-9-Gearbox-Uprated-2-98-1-Ratio-Long-first-gear-conversion-kit-/191975767217?epid=539762608&hash=item2cb2a5bcb1:g:E8cAAOSwsW9YyBPp A very good friend fitted it BUT you will need to follow this advice... (from old school ford ) If your going to put a long 1st into a standard type9 casing you have to grind a recess in to the casing ( to allow for the larger 1st gear) Also if youre doing this mod its also worth doing the uprated layshaft bearing mod ( usually fitted already to the modified layshaft) You could use this link for the other rebuild kit you may need.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Capri-Sierra-Type-9-Gearbox-Bearing-Overhaul-Rebuild-Repair-Kit-/110998918683?fits=Car+Make%3AFord&hash=item19d80d161b:m:m-ZsQ3vmjEZYU8OjczXnx3Q

I diagnosed a number of faults with my EFI Pinto using an electric drill to turn the dizzy. You can hear the injectors clicking without the noise of the starter motor. I had a spare dizzy which made it easy. I have also attached some information regarding the system which may help.

I have received the following email from the organiser of the Stilton Run...... The board has decided that it will not be possible to run the event on the usual date this year (last Sunday in April) due to Covid-19 restrictions and will therefore offer the event at the usual time in 2022. However, if there is sufficient interest, it is proposed to offer an extra event in September this year, on a Sunday morning, which will involve a navigation around the villages of Rutland, returning to Uppingham for a choice of lunch/afternoon tea venues and music in the market square. We would appreciate knowing if you would be interested, in principle, in attending such an event. It would probably be limited to 200 cars. If a sufficient numbers of car owners say yes, we will forward full details in about a month and accept bookings giving priority to those already registered with us for the Stilton Run. If you are interested in the event in September please PM me and I will send you the email address of the organiser.

Any good? The throttle cut and shut is behind the steering column, mine is cut by the slight kink in the original pedal making it a bit more kinky .

Sorry I don't have any pictures, the pedal box is covered inside a footwell box. I will try to get in the garage in the next couple of days and take some.

I have one fitted to my 2B, when I changed to a Vauxhall Red Top . I don't have a servo but used the original master cylinder. Only mod was to the throttle pedal which was rewelded to move away from the brake pedal. Firewall needed mods for the new cable runs though.

Sounds like a good trip out Very interested.

Its a shame but better to be safe.

Everything was very well organised to work in a safe manner, but didn't stop us enjoying ourselves. Cracking day out, thanks to all who made this work in these very difficult times. Marilyn & Derek

Speak to Dave at Dampertech, he has advised a number of 2B owners including myself. U bracket in the spring recess in the trailing arm for the bottom fitting. The top is a direct swop.

Kerry, myself & co-drivers were there, enjoyed a bacon buttie and a cuppa. Sorry we missed you. No other cars there when we left; as Nelmo says very limited advertising, just a post on FB from a local car show group. Looking on their FB page now there were a number of cars there today.

Anyone interested? Ruddington is South of Nottingham on the A60 Can someone copy and paste this message about Ruddington heritage centre classic vehicle meet Ruddington heritage centre This weekend (bank holiday) we are open Saturday and Sunday and Monday. All Classics will be most welcome from 9am to 5pm. But i will be there from 8am if anyone wants to arrive early. I will be spacing cars 1 metre apart because of the covid. But they normally do that anyway so opening doors don't bang the next car .Free cuppa for anyone bringing a classic. Cafe will be open for breakfast and lunch etc. Site has been made all covid friendly and the cafe is covid ready and all toilets have been brought up to covid standards. Jim/robert

Either will be fine for us Oldies picnic any time in the weeks suggested

Just a bit too far for a day trip for us, especially it there is a arrive before and a stay till time. Hope the organisers get the support they want.

What about another evening at the gate? There are 2 pubs in Queniborough not been to either recently, or know how they are operating at the moment. Hunting Lode in Barrow on Soar has a large car park, again I don't know how they are operating.
