It looks like I've bought some things from Ian Hayward in Farnborough. :) In total they weigh about about 9kg, and I believe that they will fit in a 40x40x35cm box.

 

Is anyone coming to L2B on Sunday that could pick this up and bring it with them?

 

Many thanks

 

Barry

Hi Ian,

very interested, can you send pics please?

Many thanks

Barry

Paul,

I've made that forum visible for you.  please let me know when you have the details you need so that I can hide it again.

Cheers

Barry
 

Angus&Tessa's car runs flares above wide-track, looks perfectly reasonable to me.

Yes please. ywhbm

Before you start, you may want to have a read of this useful guide: porting and polishing.

Naturally.

Hi Simon, yhbm

Hi Nigel, I think that the chap you need to talk to is Steve Motts, think his is a 1979 live-axle with zetec. Used to go the the North Hants Phoenix meeting, maybe someone from over there can help you with an email address.

 

Good luck with it, it's not something you'll regret.

Going to Stoneleigh then, Baz?

Hi Roger,

it's often been said that the lower front wishones should be parallel to the ground, is this no longer the case (was it ever)?

In the words of The Goddamn Whores: "******* ****"

Quoting Golf Juliet Tango: 

Exactly, as they redesigned the front wings, it would have been easy to rework the rear wings to accomodate the (for example) 95mm diameter lights which SVC sell.

The Lotus Seven Twin Cam SS had frenched lights that used the existing Alpine lenses, as did the Series IV.

 

As for technology in this area, I've often thought that the rear of the car is somewhat untidy, and when the original Vauxhall race cars were developed with no rear lights I thought that they looked great. I would love to see arrays of LEDs behind tiny holes in the rear wings, with further LEDs at the edges (or fibre optics) to cover off the requirement for lights to be seen from the side, but I suspect that the lack of 'E' markings may be an issue.

Quoting Dave Jackson: My long-held opinion is that this is exactly what should have been done with the CSR

Quoting Eugene: 

 

Oh yeah!! Ital with LSD 😬 😬 😬

And you don't look as if you weigh very much either so win, win .

Quoting Eugene:  Live axle?

Will it fit under the bonnet Steve?

Frankly, if you think that you should use a 4-point harness, you should probably wear a 6-point one.

Quoting Eugene: Silly me! No, as mine has adjustable seats, I used the rear seat-mounting tabs. However, I can't see why you couldn't use the lap mouting points if there's enough room. The crotch strap is there mainly to hold the other belts in place (as well as preventing submarining) so they shouldn't be putting more forces through the mounting-points than they should be able to cope with.

Quoting Eugene: 

 

What's the layout of the crotch strap(s)? I laid mine over the seat squab, so that I sat on them.

This any help?
