my wifes car needs some new fronts,at the moment it is on run flats and has no spare.Do you think it would be wise to go onto normal tyres and carry a can of tyre weld like you Superlight boys.If so what make of tyre would you advise ? thankyou

wanted 1 black minator with polished rim size 6 x 13

Brian one will be fine for me thanks John

Brian,put me down for two as on previous thread,am just around the corner so can collect.

i am going to Scotland ths year and plan on doing approx 1500 miles plus some other trips.At the moment i am running yoko 48's which i dont think will last the course with normal use as well. Anyone got any suggestions for touring tyres? Anyone any thoughts on Yoko A539'S ? thanks for your help

Mav YHM Tried to email you on your google site but it keeps bouncing back !!!

BRG 7 with yellow nose band and brown doors heading out of Skipton on the Bolton Abbey road gone in a flash

Jason, come and have a look at mine (as the actress said to the bishop ) they all work so i must have got it right.!!! John

Am just running in Roadsport 1.8 self build and have tracked down various rattles but one i cant get rid of goes away if you just touch the clutch pedal,or put your foot under the clutch pedal and raise it slightly.Have adjusted the cable as the build manual says and have no trouble at all with selecting gears and bite position,just this damn tickling sound or resonace ( i think that is the technical term). Do i need to add extra tension to the cable and if so at what end and how.? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. The car will be going back to CCM for its first service when it has done 1000m so i could wait til then and let them sort it,but they might sort my wallet as well

HAVE JUST REPLACED MY HOSES,HAD A WORD WITH CC BEFORE FITTING,YES SPARE NUT IS A LOCK NUT ON T PIECE ALSO THE COPPER WASHER GOES ON BETWEEN T PIECE AND LOCK NUT,NOT ESSENTIAL BUT THATS WHAT THEY DO.BELTS AND BRACES JOB. WITH REGARD TO P CLIPS .I CUT THROUGH THE THE P CLIP AND THEN HACKSAWED THE TOP OF THE RIVET OFF, ONCE THE TOP OF THE P CLIP HAD BEING REMOVED THEN JUST TAPPED THE REMAINING BIT OF THE RIVET INTO THE DE DION TUBE. TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES PER CLIP BUT LEAVES A NEAT JOB .

Hope it never happens but if it should,whiche road side recovery service would you recommend. Anyone had personal experience of this.??

finished my build at the weekend apart from sva trim and bits. Just like to say a big thankyou for all the help I have had from the forum and peoples build Diaries. Just need to get my PBC and SVA sorted and get out and enjoy it Thanks again John Bransfield

NEW BUILD, bled brakes for the first time yesterday ,but both sides are weeping (as well as me) at the 3 way connector. It may be that I have not cut the plastic pipe square so the olive is not seated correctly.If this is the case I was hoping to carry out the repair whilst in situ. A. do you think this is possible as Dave K at DT says to strip it all down and refit it on the bench,which seems a bit of a bugger. B. If I have to fit the CC version that comes ready assembled can i hacksaw underneath the P clip and tap the end of the rivet into the de.dion tube on the existing and then just replace,without taking the de dion out of the car. your answers as always are much appreciated. Engine started first time after stopping petrol spillage from fuel filter fitted at the factory

I am on a new build as well,had a similar problem but got there in the end. Best solution i discovered from a work colleague is to buy a small ratchet strap attach to the top and bottom wishbone tighten up and put on the nyloc takes all of 3 minutes !!!

am fitting halfshafts on new build, lhs.went on easy using scissor method with metal bar and torque wrench rhs started ok shaft end has just started protruding through nyloc nut but is now nearly impossible to move..dont think it is cross threaded as it started easy plus everything looks flush.just very tight. Do i carry on or wait till brakes are bled with handbreak on and use more leaverage.. Your comments as always will be most appreciated

which is the best method of cutting braided hoses to give a neat finishfor the rear brakes/de dion tube area. hacksaw/dremel/tin snips. your help is much appreciated as always
