  1. Try G S Escorts in Widnes, an old Ford breaker.

    VVC head

    One on blat chat for sale.
  3. I assume there is electricity in the garages so will be bringing an electric kettle, coffee, milk etc. Have a few paper cups but suggest you all bring a mug.
  4. Chris, Free electricity at Anglesey. Get a long extension lead fitted with a caravan type plug, then take a fan heater and an inspection light.
  5. Buy a polishing machine from machine mart or equivalent. Use a foam head and Belgum Alu polish. Clean up residue by hand with Vienna lime. This is a chalky powder, apply with a cloth, cheap on eBay. Then wash.
  6. Talk to Simon at Meteor Motorsport.
  7. Check for a bent steering arm, look at the distance between the track rod end and the disc.

    Sandra's Tree

    I've been at Curborough today, Sandra's tree is thriving and the bench was in use by double drivers throughout the day. Prior to presenting the prizes the Shenstone chairman spoke at some length about Sandra, the tree and the Lotus Seven Club.
  9. Yes I think you can Chris. To my simple mind, with approximately 500kg and 200bhp, 5kg = 2 horsepower. Good luck at Brighton.
  10. Chris, I think you have given me Rob Grigsby's time which I will happily accept. My 48.17 was beaten by Paul Forster who did a mid 47. Cheers and thanks for your work on compiling the results so promptly, Nige.

    Tyres

    charlie_pank It's my understanding that the Avons are an order of magnitude more expensive than the AO21Rs. That would make the Avons over £500 each!

  13. Should be two practice runs in the morning from around 9. One timed run before an hours lunch break at perhaps 12.30. Finish around 4.
  14. I could do Lancaster to the Curborough sprint this Friday if that helps
  15. 7 inch. I've used Khumos 215s on 7, 7.5, 8 & 8.5 rims and I'm not sure I can tell the difference. Nice article and pics in low flying Chris, well done. See you at Curborough.

    Harewood...

    Just home, great weekend, last run in the deluge. Thanks to the chairman for helping push the camper and trailer out of the mud. Edited by - Nigel Fox on 5 Aug 2012 21:16:32
  17. Mine is a Radtec aluminium radiator and electric fan from the same supplier. Raceline water rail, plumbed as they recommend with a drilled thermostat, no heater or bypass pipe work.
  18. Finals have arrived this evening
  19. I think that these instruments (voltmeter, water temp and electric oil pressure) will be of "hot wire" construction. The expansion of a tiny heating element is mechanically amplified to operate the pointer. A feature of this design is that they are slow to move.
  20. It seems to be a "Northern" thing, but the Harewood regs are quite specific. When I compete in local events it always has to be in the non roadgoing class, in which people are running on slicks.
  21. Chris will need a windscreen for entry into a roadgoing class at Harewood.
