    I’ve had terrible stuff from Burton over the years, the worst were twin cam engine block oil gallery plugs that were BSP rather than NPT…twin cam new timing chest castings that were seriously inaccurate. But worse still was their attitude to it!

    Hi Dom, In addition to the other checks suggested, take look at the main engine loom power supply - there is a brown to purple spade connector in the loom bundle just behind the dry sump tower. Well known for being loose and causing engine drop in/out. Malcolm

    Hi Mo, apologies for the late reply, yes these are still available. Malcolm

    Well done Lewis for 2 class wins, 2 records and FTD on Sunday.
  5. Englishmaninwales
    Andrew, you have a PM.

    Hi Adam, Yes, there has been a discussion and bookings, have a look through the ‘Anglesey’ thread below. Malcolm
  7. Englishmaninwales
    Indeed. I replied to the email earlier today expressing a similar view. Malcolm

    Welcome back 🙂 You can do both the Curborough events as a CL7C member without signing up to the championship. When the children get older you can pay for their entry fees too for a dual drive!! Been there, done that one 😂😂 Malcolm

    Nylon bolt with a mild steel nut and penny washer works fine for the grounding in my experience.

    Fit camping foam bed roll, cut to size, to the underside. WRT wing fixing, if you don’t go down the plastic set screw route and use mild steel, make sure the forward bottom 2 have plenty of copperslip, as the rivnuts cannot be approached from the inside (without removing the inner panel) in a few years time when corrosion has set in.

    Sorry chaps, but the recycling centre visit is booked for this weekend. Last opportunity now for a display item in your design office!

    I can vouch for this car in it’s original spec as advertised here - Mike gave me the opportunity to drive it in anger at Loton Park hillclimb a while back and it is a very well sorted car👍 Good luck with the sale.
  13. Englishmaninwales
    Price £1995 ono I’ll buy it, thanks Mike😀

    Hi David, You have a PM.
  15. Englishmaninwales
    Surely one of you want it as a show item for your office?

    Is tech drawing and design initially taught using traditional methods before being let loose with CAD? At least when the power to the PC fails work can continue.
  17. Englishmaninwales
    Good condition, free to a good home, collection only or could possibly meet by arrangement. Edit: located in NE Wales

    Try your friendly local garage owner. I’ve never had any difficulty.

    Rear hubs…appropriately ranged torque wrench?

    Paul - Just a further thought - If you are running without a giggle valve or restrictor in the CH to header there maybe reverse flow back into the CH prior to stat opening. This may explain the rapid rise to100 and fall when stat opens?
  21. Englishmaninwales
    Paul, I run the QED with the bypass outlet plumbed via a T piece into the lower header tank outlet to submarine pipe so bypassing the header tank. I fitted the CH to header tank hose with a 2mm restrictor fitted to replace the jiggle valve (on the standard manifold) when I fitted TBs. Malcolm

    A series engine firing order is 1342

    Ignore!

    I have read elsewhere that the conversion of theTriumph trunnion/upright (as found in Spitfire, GT6, Lotus Elan) to spherical bearing upsets the geometry (increases the effective length of the lower wishbone) resulting in increased bump steer. Not sure about the Caterham, though. Malcolm

    Loton Park entries are now open and Prescott opens on Monday 12th Feb at 1000hrs. For the latter you’ll need to check/edit your personal/car detail, upload your licence and register for the championship under Registrations in the drop down.
