    One place for me please Chris. Thanks a lot.

    I used Northampton Motorsport and can highly recommend them. As to power Philip, it was adequate

    I think the cams are the same for the 140 and 150, Piper marked 150 on one end. From my experience, the inlet cam on the 140 is retarded a fair bit, which I think is to do with the long inlet tract. When I tried to advance it to a more normal figure, the engine lost some bhp but gained a little torque. I then upgraded to dthtb and the shorter inlets needed the figure around 110 to develop max bhp. The exhaust did not seem to have so much effect. Both figures could be correct, depending on plenum or throttle bodies.

    Congratulations to Matt for a well deserved first class 2 win and new class record by a good margin. Stunning last run.

    According to the regs, 90 entries are reserved for various championships, ours not included. That leaves 65 for everyone else, us included. These are accepted at the organisers discretion, which I guess might include receipt of entries. I sent mine in on the 16 May, which was immediately after the regs came out and I've got an entry. It will be interesting to see how many of our members this affects.

    Phil, I'd like a pair in black please, plus trim if possible. Thanks Mike

    Alan, I use the same one. Yesterday the scrutineer asked me to put some cable ties around it just in case. They're a funny old lot... Mike

    Hi Simon, I'll take the lenses please if still available. Will collect at ITS. Thanks. Mike

    Check the 249 dimension on your seat belt fixings and if different amend accordingly, but it fits my metric chassis so I expect its the same on imperial. I'm not sure why it calls for 14.5 dia holes as from memory the bolts are 7/16 unf and 11.5 dia would be nearer the mark I think.

    The race wing stays I've seen have the tube flattened at the change of direction to give more clearance to the tyre.

    OK, see you Saturday.

    I've got a couple that I can bring with me at the weekend.

    June is definitely my favourite picture on this year's calendar.

    You'll need a gauge (I use Racetech combined pressure/temperature), oil pressure line 6' with 1/8" bsp flat ends and a 1/4" npt male to 1/8" bsp male adaptor to replace existing sender unit on engine block. Demon Tweeks tele sales are very helpful. If you want temperature as well, the capilliary line is fitted to the gauge but you'll need to weld a 3/8"bsp boss (Merlin Motorsport) to side of sump to accept the sender.

    I use this part number F1714387 from local Ford dealer. My car is 2013.

    Postage would be great thanks Paul, Guildford is a bit far for me. I'll send you a message with details. I did think of cutting and rethreading a longer one, but the thread is formed rather than cut, so the rod diameter is too small for cutting a new thread.
  23. mikecocker
    Standard push rod approx 3.5" long with 5/16" unf thread one end and domed head the other. I can find extended ones on line but not standard. Perhaps someone has a scrap m/c lying around in the garage. Thanks.

    I think you're in the right mode. The value of 039558 is a calculation based on 922 revolutions per mile for your tyre size x 43 teeth/gaps on the reluctor ring on the rear o/s driveshaft. Does your car have this ring or did they use a different method on your year? Regardless, I found the best way to calibrate was to find a straight piece of quiet road and drive it at a constant speed with a satnav in my lap. Any difference, pull into layby, adjust and try again.

    Metric cars at the rear are 1/2" bottom and 10mm top. Top bush is sleeved.
