ok will see what i can get easily

i will be there november the 6th for the flame and thunder if the weather is ok i live close enough to hear the fireforce cars from home

dave send me a pm with your address please

printed out ready to be put on his desk in the mornin before he gets there

i got an engineeers vernier protractor with a spirit level bubble in it i was gonna go by that for a first attempt i know my garage floor is somewhere near level then hold it on the hub/wheel face and see what angle i get vertical seems to be with the shaft pushed hard into the top slot on mine, so guess thats where i will start

big enuff aint it!

here it is sorry only a fag box sketch . was never any good with autocad! nothing too critcal the main od is just a tad under the diameter of the existing mc phearson bumpstops and the taper just to make sure it dont hit the spring the length looks about right for mine with 15inch alloys but may need adjusting for those with 14's. if anything i have gone to long for mine but its hard to guess how far the existing bumpstop wil squash the hole is 20mm to suit the chrome shaft, mine is reamed but only cos i found a suitable reamer before i found the drill on another note dan, what have you got the camber set to ? i was gonna guess at dead upright but yours seems to handle so wonder what yours is set to ?

will do a sketch of what i got with a few sizes on tomorow someone else pm'ed me for the same sort of thing but i have lost his email so dunno who it was! i have used all the nylon i had making these but wouldnt be an expensive thing to get them made i am also fairly hard on my tin-top so guess you better go for it if we geta dry day again this year!

do you mind if you have a current output or a voltage output from this sensor ? may have one that you can have to less that rs prices! its voltage and was ordered in error so is unused will sort it out later to see what range it is but i am sure its in the right sort or range you need

he's my extra spacer for curing the bump stop problem not as clear in the picture as i first thought. i left the spring off so you can see it but havent slotted the pillar back in at the top Dan ....... have you got a grease mark on your shaft. "oeeerr missus" that shows how far the suspension travels in normal road use ? i think the spacers if anything are too long at the moment but its hard to guess how much the bumpstop will compress

rekon i have sorted the bumpstop idea will post a picture tonight if i remember

basically (draws deep breath) the front 2 cylinders hold nitrogen and are coupled via a manifold to the 4 rear cylinders that contain liquid nos from the bottom of the nos tanks is a pipe to each rocket tube via a throttle/solenoid assembly in the rocket tubes there is a cardboard tube(similar to a carpet tube) and at the hot end a carbon nozzle at the cold??? end there is a firework sort of flare that makes the inital heat to split the nos into nitrogen and oxygen there is also a diesel glow plug heater to light the firework so far that car has only idled its motors but the technology is sound and fine as long as its not me expected to drive it http://www.eurodragster.com/news/news0904.asp scrol down to 26th of sept http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/3880579.stm video clip in that one

but what i didnt say is that apart from the nos it only burns cardboard

was good to meet you for the first time too

i got the original 2b tapes somewhere from the first batch doubt they are any different but the same offer stands as terrys

you can burn it faster than that :boohoo: my next doors neighbours car when it is fully up and running will burn 35kg of the stuff in about 15 secs..... and some of that will be with the motors idling

the split type not the wrap around 25 mm diameter from rs over 40 quid a bag with the vat they do a tool to put it on with but it is posible without 2 packs 10 quid each plus postage link to the stuff on the rs site part number 210-8594 http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/search/SearchD...chText=210-8594
