NOW SOLD but can't seem to update title

Aha, I've solved it! Inside the seat there is a rectangular tube into which the HR slots. Inside this tube is a piece of thin spring steel riveted to the tube so that it exerts pressure on the HR tube and stops it moving and rattling. So its not just 'stiction'. My piece of spring steel had broken off I managed to effect a repair with a small piece of bent brass strip that whilst not having full spring effect does stop the HR moving around

Will have a look thanks and report back! Andrew

Yes I am Jonathan, it works really well, only needed 5 pumps to go from 15 to 18 psi. easy to read gauge. I'd been using another track pump before which had smaller bore and even tinier gauge Only £36 at halfords with discount

Hi, have an S3 with standard leather seats and head restraints. I know there is something in the back of the seat for the head restraint tube to locate. The driver's seat fits well but the passenger seat head restraint does not seem to be locating and rattles around Any ideas how to fix?

Just go this from Halfords (with discount) http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-maintenance/bike-pumps/topeak-joe-blow-dualie-track-pump Its essentially a track pump but has two gauges one that maxes out at 30 psi - the dial is big enough to get good readings around the 16 - 20 psi range that many have tyres at unlike many other track pumps that have a much higher range dial Really simple to use, no plugging in - plus it'll work on bike tyres !

Nick, you have PM Andrew

Interested in Petty Strut - have PM'd you

Nice idea Ian, will check sizes Andrew

I spotted that too - its a 16 Valve version (the one I am looking for to go over my spare wheel bolt hole now that I have taken spare wheel hanger off But Im not paying £110!

Thanks that's really helpful and explains a lot! - do you know the revs that the light comes on? Andrew

Hi, My dash has three lights vertically between the tacho and speedo I can fathom out what the two lower ones are but the top one looks a bit different I cannot seem to locate an owners manual Can someone confirm what the three lights are for 1997 K-Series Supersport ta Andrew

Me neither (Chrome, Windows 10) Andrew

2nd dibs please if it doesn't go to Jonathan 1997 Supersport with single diagonal FIA rollbar Andrew

First of all I think the decision to commission a comprehensive study was the right one, realising that as with these things the result will never please everyone. But remember that the study looked at whether any other ROPS, using one of four roll bars alone, were better under strict analysis than the stated minimum of the 1996 era 'FIA' bar Whether that minimum is the right one is moot as the Club could in no way going forward agree to a 'lower' standard due to potential liability issues I think we should be proud that 'our' club has decided this approach and should accept the results As with most things in life there are rules and sometimes you may not agree with them but if you want to play you play by the rules I do have a couple of questions though 1. The report was reviewed by a few 'engineering experts' - how were they chosen and does the club have a record of capability within its ranks (interest here as a Fellow of the IMechE with 30+ years automotive experience) Not that I wanted to be involved per se but it would be interesting to know our collective capability (BUT I don't want to divert the theme of this thread!) 2. in reference to the cost being a limiting factor for those that do track days - I find that a bit strange. We all have budget limits and constraints but I would guess none of us have a 7 as a daily driver so it is a 'toy'- 'FIA' bars are not cheap but can be found used for about £125 (I know this for sure, although you do then have to think about boot cover, hood etc). I don't know how much a track day actually costs but I am guessing with fuel, tyres and entry and the costs of getting kitted out with suit and helment the decision to attend one is not solely down to the cost of a bar.

Thanks I have the track settings for my car and now have it as 18' toe-in which is good for a S3 DeDion K series Supersport ​I had to fit a new rack as the old one had play inboard of the knuckles Fitted new TREs having noted turns required to remove old ones, set tracking but now just need a minute recetreing of steering wheel Good point about amount of thread which is fine both sides - both pretty similar amount of thread showing Finally happy with result Why did they get rid of the flats on the track rods which would have made it sooooo much easier

Just tried 1/8th turn at track rods which is not enough so trying some more now Just for reference this is a newly fitted new rack that I have aligned using a Track Ace but just need steering wheel centre-ing

Thanks, I think its too small an adjustment for moving column by a single spline Looks like its track rod adjustment! thanks for the responses Andrew

Hi is it possible to make minute adjustments to the steering wheel to rotate it so that it lines up square with the straight ahead driving position without resorting to adjusting at the track rods? My steering wheel is about 3 degrees (only really a tiny amount) of kilter
