you'll need to do a bit of fabrication, when I fitted the red top I modified the bulkhead/firewall around the master cylinder. Quckest option is to cut the return off the servo mounting plate and reweld the plate to the other edge so it's 40mm back from it's original position. You can then weld a lug on the outside of the brake pedal to move the m/c outboard enough to clear the carbs. You probably won't be able to get any filters on with that set up and ideally you need to move the m/c inboard of the bulkhead as per the pics in the link to my garage at the bottom of my posts. Any questions send me a message, give me a call or come down for a look I'm only about 40 mins away

that's the general gist of it, I also sew a thin piece of the fabric behind the PVC so the thread has something to pull on

great run out, fish, chips and curry sauce was good. Just had a quick look at the video and the little Chinese gopro copy has done really well. Thanks to Mitch for organising it all.

Hi Kerry, it's the stuff they use on caravan awning windows etc. I got it years ago when I made the first roof and I had a piece big enough for the window left over in the garage. Link

Part two is now complete, so I now have a half roof which changes to a full roof by the addition of an extra panel. The panel is zipped on with a couple of strips of velcro to assist and can be fitted in under a minute. The straps attach to the buckles on the half hood to take abit of the strain off the zips.

Happy birthday Bob, doesn't seem like a year since we were toasting your birthday over in France, hope you have a great day

correct, you need to add an attachment point above the pivot so that pressing the pedal will allow the push rod to work in the opposite direction. General rule of thumb is that you want at least 5:1 ratio between the pedal to pivot and push rod to pivot if not using a servo. I managed to rework the sierra pedal box to maintain the clutch adjuster and have an inboard master cylinder

just been looking at ebay and came across these which look pretty similar to cosworth engine mounts Looks to me like you could make these work by dropping a bolt through the arm into the mount and drilling two new holes to mount it

never used one when I had ZX6R carbs and a facet fast road cube pump

Here's my latest offering This is part one, finished it in time for Scotland last weekend, but the weather gods were with us and so it didn't get properly used. Part two will see an additional piece being made that will make it into a full roof with rear window for overnight or extreme conditions.

I've made tea tonight, do you reckon that's enough?

As it's our 29th wedding anniversary and I've not managed to persuade Laura that a kit car show is the best place to celebrate it, we won't be at Donington this weekend. Also I think I've used all my passes up for the annual work trip to Benidorm in a fortnight and my 6 day road trip to the Millau Bridge and back first week in October.

Too much water in the expansion bottle? Have you topped it up recently and filled to a higher level than normal?

go to emerald's website, you can download the instructions and also buy a suitable switch from them

either the flat or the pot flywheel will fit in the bellhousing, but you'll need the matching Vauxhall cover/pressure plate for it. Friction plate I'd recommend the Ford Galaxy/VW Sharon 2.8 V6 plate. If you're looking on ebay you may get lucky like I did and pick up a brand new two part clutch for not a lot of money, but make sure you buy the one that's 228mm as there are a couple of different sizes.

Back and unpacked from a great weekend. Thanks to all who did the organising of the location and the driving routes. One of the roads yesterday was that fast, narrow and twisty that we had to have a vomit stop for a back seat passenger in a tin top. Great to meet up with Dave Castle again after five years, glad you're enjoying your move up north of the border, you haven't changed at all Dave. Glad that Darren and Cheryl enjoyed themselves, it's always a bit daunting tagging onto an established group of friends for the first time.

Are we going spinning the prayer wheels at that Tibetan Monestry again? PS change of plan, we're still taking the gazebo but not the gas bbq anymore.

Head east at the church!

not too hard to do, you'll need an ignition controlled 12v power feed which you can daisy chain from one gauge to another as well as to your oil pressure warning light and ignition light. You may need to fit a 10v regulator if using Smiths gauges. Daisy chain a feed from your lights to each of the bulb holders and also daisy chain in an earth. You'll then need a wire from your fuel and temp gauges to the relevant senders, a feed to the tacho from either the ecu or the coil depending on what set up you have.

Happy birthday Chris, hope you've had a great day. Steve and Laura

I've got one of these on my vauxhall turbo engine, fits at the front of the 2B chassis and keeps the temps in check nicely. Or you could go for a polo rad which is another popular one, but the inlet and outlet are both on the same side with that one.

If all you want is a destination rather than a chippy or pub to eat at then Carsington Water isn't far from Matlock/Matlock Bath and has a good parking area. Not sure if it gets locked up at night though. Or the Peak Outlet Village at Rowsley has a big car park too.

Darren, can you send me a PM with your phone number and I'll give you a call about meeting up on Friday for the run to Scotland

I'm working Friday and Saturday days and Sunday Monday nights that weekend, so won't be able to attend.

Sorry Jase, wasn't having a dig, just saying that the passes hadn't arrived. Only found out at 6.30 this evening as Ant was over at Eurodisney playing with Mickey and Minnie until then.
