They are still a stickler for sharp edges. ends of square --mounting the wishbones. the nut on the shock absorber, the plate under the headlamp _ cant see in pic if it is edged all the way round. deffo the thread on the nut holding the headlight down.....dont forget your spanners to be able to adjust the beam at the test. Not sure, but don't the reversing lights have to be parallel to the floor? a small wedge fitted when I did mine. And on a personal quest --what Intercooler is that ? Good luck Graham B

Some pics on their way. Graham B

Another thanks to Becks for the organisation. It was a great meal and super company, as always. Just to note from Chris's picture --The Phoenix lives !!! 30 miles with no problems there and back. ----and when I get it into turbo revs !!! wha heeee!!!! Graham B

Need to make sure they dont pinch in the springs either. Ditto ---- tie wraqpped out of the way!! Graham B

It looks superb. Graham B

Looking forward to the meal and all. Who knows, I might even have my 2B back on the road!! (with Intercooler this time) Graham B

Bryan, Have a 3.92 7.5" lobro fitted and would like a 3.6 , but it has to be a 7.5" casing. I thought , maybe wrongly , that all lobros were 7.5 --can you check yours is only 7. (Donor 2.0 DOHC Sierra sapphire) graham b

Another thought --my problem.. Have you got the right sender for the guage? The Nissan sender attached to a telemetrix guage -- read 10-15 degrees over. I was panicing that everything was about to explode. ? hold onto the top hose and feel when the thermostat opens --( 82-85 degs) ? What temp does your electric fan cut in ? All sorted now. Graham B

Having sucessfully fitted another engine in my 2B , My old, very usable bits are available to help others. 8valve DOHC efi ---rebuilt 15,000 ago, shortened alloy sump £120 MT75 attached £40 Spare MT75 £40 Pedalbox with modified pedals (chopped and rewelded) £15 Servo and cylinder £20 Always open to offers. !! Graham B --Thatcham, Berks

Guys My DOHC has run without a swirl pot for at least 5 years. I just didnt let the tank get less than 1/4 full. I ditched the Ford internal fuel pump and fitted an external one ( with seperate filter). Graham B

Hi all, Not a Zero I know ( I fitted it in a 2B where the dashboard down chassis members are where the propshaft joint is!) , --- but I threw the black Ford gearstick extension away ( large, heavy and totally overengineered) and just made up a rod to a solidly mounted , very short, quickshift. This allows you to put the gear lever where you want it !!! --- not where it happens to be depending on your engine mounts. Graham

You could use my DOHC and Manual MT75 box,Its just sitting on the drive at present. It was fitted in my 2B, and is as removed. Completely rebuilt 15000 mile ago. PM if interested,. Graham B

Dave Welcome to the Thames Valley area . Our best known , completed Zero is Ian in Bracknell. A wealth of kit building is around you. You may have even seen a few RHE /GBSC cars if you went to the Uxbridge show earlier in the year. Come along to the monthly meet , There may even be one or two for you to ogle.

It also helps if you mount the front of the seat an inch or two higher than the back ---- A much more comfortable driving position. Gaham B

My machine was getting slower and slower to start, I used Malwarebytes and had tried everything.....So I finally turned off Microsofts Automatic Updates ---No more disk whirring for 20 mins !! I do get a warning message --but its only a message. Graham B

I too have a servo .Just removed from my 2B. Standard unit , not the short dumpy one that was in the 2.0 DOHC donor. Graham B

Got my terminology wrong --Cat D it was.... Graham B

Andy, Go back to the assessor and negotiate., dont take the initial responce as final. Tell him as its a kit car , it can always be repaired/remade by a kit car enthusiast. Get him to declare it "damaged, repairable " cat B I think. I did and the car has been back on the road for several years. Graham B "The Phoenix"

Demon Tweeks also do pulleys etc. Graham

Daz, You'll have to take a trip up to the breakers (Padworth are so close to you) for pulleys. "Berkshire bearings" in Newbury will do you multi V belt at 10mm steps ( i think, might be 25). . Graham B

Pete, My Sierra pedal box, servo and master cylinder are now available. A picture of your problems would help see what you need to resolve.. His chassis shouldn't be too different to ours. Graham B

I repaired my coolman with a blowlamp and solder. OK so far Graham B

Back Home, unloaded and absolutely flaked out ---AND I had the air conditioned Tin top.!! Thanks Chris....should have parked under the trees rather than on the parched, baked, compacted ? beach?. HOODIE says HI !!! Some snaps of him on his travels as he returned to the UK. Graham B
