I am in if its not too late. Have mailed Steve.

i have a set - drop me a pm

Purchased in error, brand new £80 collect from South London

Thanks for the replies. I havent got as far as the gearbox mount so will try that at the weekend. Handbrake cable was a possible but have protected/moved it so its not that. Shocks are new, with new bolts and torqued up. The hunt continues.

Hi all I have a live axle (ital) xflow that has developed a mechanical click when the drivetrain is put under load when the clutch is let out in gear - most noticeably when pulling away. When on the move there is no perceptible noise When driving the sound appears to come from the drivers side rear put upon further inspection with Rob at Ratrace it may be passenger side rear and the sound is traveling. Things i have done/checked: Spanner check of rear axle, suspension and brakes Replaced the rear shocks/springs - a necessary upgrade required anyway Checked the diff for oil Checked the prop UJ's and greased Checked the wheel bearings Checked the radius arm bushes - there is no visible movement when the car is held on the brakes and the clutch let out Replaced the centre A arm bushes Any other ideas? Sean

Hi Am after a 3.7 (i think thats right). Currently have a 4.1 and its not ideal. Cheers

All sorted - new sump and pickup ordered from redline.

Hello all Anyone got one of these stashed away? Needs to the the old type with the gauze end, rather than the new type that Burton stock. Engine is in for a rebuild at ratrace and the old pickup has a big hole in the gauze, the replacement from Burton doesnt fit. Cheers Sean

Just removed from the car and in great condition. £150. Collection from South London.

cheers - sent you a pm. Mad'In are a french wheel company, used on a lot of formula fords that have an ital bolt pattern

Ideally after a set of Mad'In wheels but looks like I have missed the boat from all the old FF teams, so anything you may have lurking at the back of the garage considered.

Anyone have a 6" or 7" silencer to fit a xflow. Sean

brilliant, many thanks.

Does anyone have the damper lengths (open and closed) for a live axle car - have searched the site but all discussions seem to be around DD cars. Am thinking of moving to a rose jointed rear damper (based on advice on this site). My front wishbones are the trunnion type if that makes a difference to the front measurements. Was hoping to find the measurements without having to strip the car down. Also any recommendations for live axle cars (for track days and maybe some sprinting next season) - I see Spax still list them but never been a spax fan after running them on my original Mini. Many thanks Sean

I will strip off the hoses and give them a check and run the pump into a container to ensure its ok. May also order up a new facet filter (even though the current one is only 6 months old)
