Jacko, All you are left with at teh back is the new Gaz, Avo, Protech, damper unit. The old ford external spring is ditched. You need to make up some Big U fittings. The original was a U welded to tube that slid up inside the roll bar, for the top and a Big U with a bolt through the bottom to attatch to the ford swinging arms.( large washers needed) or weld plates in and drill through.up and . The damper was mounted on bolts through the U.s

Thanks Bob......

Viv, you must enter the "make" as is on their system. Check your V5.

Did the superspec come after the DOHC model , and use the same chassis diensions? If so there may be room for the MT75, otherwise you have to modify the tunnel tubes to get it to fit through. www.gbowden.co.uk

Jacko, Dont expect all parts to be perfect. Some fit , many have to be "adjusted". It was a kit that could be put together to make a car -no-one said perfect. There were always adjustments to be made, better bits to eb bought and fitted.... Hence tinkering-itis !!

Nice --My car is a ROBIN HOOD

The caster is in the 6-8 degree range specified for this type of chassis. The numbers were on the rig but not on the printed sheet. I will call them and get Monday. My joints are about equal thread wise. Adjusted measured -28 minutes per turn. My criteria was 1 to 1.5 deg ,so chose closer to 1. As said above, no chassis was really the same. I have big spacers in the rear top mounts to make up the gaps.

Bob California is a bit wet at present. I doubt if a hardtop would keep Patricia out.

Only 2 magnets on the prop flange- prop shaft joint. Drilled two indentations into flange and fitted with seal dire. With more magnets I got an unstable reading. I worked out how msnhpses were needed to cover 1 mile.,( a tape measure and s bit of maths) and set the switches accordingly. GPs speedo app on phone says this is accurate.

Bob , Have a spare Nissan oil tube if it's "material" needed. ?dimensions?

My 2B also has discs all round . I removed the valve. I have never experienced the need for it. I had a standard Sierra servo fitted at the time of the test , no servo at all now!! My side repeaters are in the side panel in front of the screen mounting, so front repeaters are motorcycle fairing ones on the top of the cycle wings- no problem.wires come out over the top wishbone mounting and are attached to the top bone. Pictures if you want.

Millers garage in Newbury have a 4 wheel laser measuring rig. It even showed the few MM. Difference in the axles geometry(front to back).

I thought I would repost some info , that I had to trawl for. I have just had my geometry checked and set up having fitted the new "handling" wishbones and thought I would share the results. The rear of my car is standard and I have not tried wedges etc , so the setting are as is : Rear camber L - 1deg 52 min toe in 32 min R - 2deg 14 min 21 min So camber could be adjusted but toe is not too far out ( about 1mm each side). The front is now set up : Camber L&R 1deg 07 min Toe in 4 min ( just a touch in from parallel.) I'll now see how it drives !!

Why did the chicken cross the road? --- To visit his " Flat mate"

I haver just refitted my turbo ( on a Nissan I know, but should be the same). Waste gate actuator goes to the outlet side of the inlet compressor.- normally into a Garrett aluminium casting , or into the pipework close to the Turbo. If into the plemum you are in the right airstream but will suffer more lag as the pressure has to build in the whole airspace before actuation. Other pipework is the oil in and drain to sump ( top and bottom), and cooling water front to back.

Sorry Bob and Mo, Away in the sun this weekend. It'll be a shame as I have so enjoyed previous events, Graham

Congratulations, and Southampton too..

Good luck Pete. Dirty/ gummed-up carb would be my guess too.. Sorry I wont be seeing you a Stoneleigh..always another year.

Sorry all, going up on Sunday only. A34 north with Cobra as companion.

Weather was brilliant. Went shopping and a gentle blat Tuesday and Wednesday. Pete ---are you going to convert the Z3 into a Cobra?

Stu, Your wing mirrors may be a bit too low too. The rear arches block a lot of what the examiner needs to see.

What time are you expecting to arrive Bob?

Have fun Pete. It will be, OK in the end. Once a hoodie, always a, hoodie.
