Thanks to all concerned. Shame we were split up on the run. 

Only a few spots of rain at Coombe Abbey. 

Mo & Derek 

I'm afraid this event will not be going ahead because of the Covid19 restrictions.

The railway is opening at the end of July with a very restricted timetable and restricted movements around the stations.

I have spoken to the Events team and they are hoping to have some form of events later in the year.

I hope we can put this on next year I will keep you informed.

Just picked up from FB

18/06/2020 COVID-19 UPDATE: 
NEWARK KIT CAR SHOW 2020

It is with regret that we have decided to cancel the Newark Kit Car Show in July this year. For those of you who have purchased tickets for this show, your ticket will be valid for the 2021 show (dates to be confirmed). To avoid possible ticket price increases next year, and to save us the cost of postage and reprinting tickets, we ask that you keep your ticket and use it for the 2021 show. By retaining your ticket for use in 2021 you will be helping us to continue hosting shows in 2021 following what has been a difficult time for many businesses due to Covid-19. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and look forward to welcoming you back to the Newark Kit Car Show next year.

As our office is still closed, we are unable to contact ticket holders individually as we do not have access to the database. If you have any queries, our preferred method of contact is email (grosvenorshows@btconnect.com). 

We are currently still planning to hold the Stoneleigh Kit Car Show in August (29 – 30 August 2020). We will continue to follow updates from the government regarding the Coronavirus and will update you on our website and Facebook page @Grosvenor where necessary. 

Kind regards,

Roger Cooling
DIRECTOR

We have re-booked but the Swan were not confident they would be trading in the same way next year.

Thanks for rearranging this trip Stuart. Those dates are fine for us.

We cancelled our booking a couple of weeks ago, next year sounds good if we are able to go

I had a similar problem with my EFI system. It was an earth on the EFI loom.

I had looked at everything but it wasn't until I removed the EFI loom, it is separate to the main car loom, I found one of the earth connectors had rotted off inside the insulation so it looked fine but there was no connection. When given a firm tug it fell apart. 

I cannot remember which earth it was but perhaps checking all of them would be a good first step. 

Found this if it helps finding the earth. 

The Stilton Run has been cancelled.

I guess all those who have registered will have/will get the Email.

99 Luftballons      Nena

Black is Black      Belle Epoque

White Room     Cream    

Green Manalishi        Fleetwood Mac

Following closely after the bolting horse, I found this in my archives.

When I had a pinto on EFI I found it invaluable, It may be of use in the future. 

Another tip I found very useful was to have a spare dizzy, attach it to an electric drill to spin it up. Any faults could be checked without having to turn the engine over 

Managed to get a couple of photo's, just managed to squeeze the time in between doing very little and nothing.

These are the ones I fitted from SVC....

Fitted almost exactly where the original RH ones came off.

Looks like the carbon effect housing is unavailable at the moment though.

I had to put a resistor in the indicator circuit which they can supply, I only used one resistor at the flasher unit.

Looks like we have another victim of CV19......... From an Email I received today.

As you are aware there have been several Government announcements concerning the restriction of public movement and mass gatherings to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Due to this we have made the unfortunate decision to postpone the Classic Car Show in Market Harborough, due to take place on 5 July 2020.

We understand this is disappointing, however, plans are underway to hold the event in 2021.

Stoneleigh Park Hotel contacted me to rearrange the dates of our booking to Saturday 27th June because the Kit Car Show dates had been changed.

Good decision, goes along with the advice and guidelines. 

I'll be there too

I still have my butchers knives and my chopper is really sharp. 

I was awake while they did my knee so I know what they said and I might be able to remember a bit of it; does that count?

Me too

Me too

I used this one from the One Stop Gearbox Shop on ebay.

https://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

I got all the other parts I needed from them, baring set, gasket set and a replacement lay shaft.

All very good and prompt service. 

I run a C20XE mated to a type 9 box,but after a major issue with the box it was rebuilt with modified internals and case. The 1st gear is now much longer so you don't have to change up as soon as the wheels are going round. I am very pleased with it. If you are interested I will look up the suppliers of the bits. Kerry did the mods to the casing so I don't know how much and from where he took the Metal.
