Thanks Nick. I'll have a look at the earth connections in the light units first as you recommended. By the way where can I find them Cheers, Pierre Edited by - Pierre Gillet on 29 Sep 2006 09:12:44

Dohnut, many thanks In fact my mate made the lights and I just inserted them into the plastic shells. A piccie here Also , I have the data sheet of the Electronic LED flasher FL-50, a new product, if you are interested by email. It says : 1. LED Indicator Bulbs only 2. Incandescent Indicator Bulbs Only 3. Mixture of both LED's and Incandescent Indicator bulbs In fact, with only the rear lights ledified, everything works fine. Since I made it for the look of it and for the reduced turn on time of the brake lights, I am satisfied. Ledified front repeaters would not add any thing in terms of look or obviously brake lights turn on time. But since I have bought them I am interested to see if I can use them. Would not a problem due to bad earth occur also with the original arrangement of incandescent bulbs ? Edited by - Pierre Gillet on 28 Sep 2006 18:01:02

Humm, I just completed the ledification of the rear lights of my Seven. You can see the work done by my mate JeanEd here. I did not use the flasher unit displayed here but used a special LED flasher unit sold by Ultraleds. It works well except that there is no more buzzer, but I do not care very much. Now if I try to ledify also the front indicators, then if I turn on the right indicators, the left ones also blink, weakly though. Any clue please? Pierre

Hope the flaps of my Hellier's baffle wil not degrade ... By the way I am very satisfied with it.

Demon Tweeks are proposing in their catalogue some specific stays. Pierre

Thanks Jerry.

Elie, you come too late, the damage is done 😳 here @Jerrry: grommet , a kind of rubber washer ? Cheers, Pierre

Thanks Gents. I have fitted 24 or so rivnuts to attach the scuttle under the bonnet and plan to use M4 hex bolts instead of the pop rivets. Hope it's OK.

Would it be a good idea to rivnut the scuttle instead of pop rivet it back ? cheers, Pierre

Thank you all for the various tips which will be very useful to me. Another question, a tad O/T I am afraid: Would it be a good idea to rivnut the bulkhead instead of pop rivet it back ? Cheers, Pierre

Thanks Norman,I will do as you did. Cheers, Pierre

I plan to remove the wiper motor and transmission shaft , but noticed that the loom is supported by the wiper transmission shaft. I figure that the loom need to be firmly attached to some kind of support. I would be interested to know what you guys did. Cheers, Pierre

1,74 m . The 'low' RIF aeroscreen is OK or me Pierre

Slightly off topic, I just had all the dents on the titanium shell of my Raceco silencer removed by one of this magicians who normally remove dents on the bodywork of cars without damaging their paintworks. For the pricely sum of 30 euros Pierre

1.6 K are homologated in France. 1.6 K SS are not. The ID key is the chassis N°. Since the chassis N° of a 1.6 K SS is no different from the one of a 1.6 K you should have no problem. Normally you need a cat. But, you know, avec ces voitures anglaises Pierre

I can see on Autoroule that your French is Excellent Cagey Pierre

Another mate, Pierre (not me !), would like to know if le système inboard se visse tel quel ou faut-il modifier quelquechose? which could be translated by: Is the FreeStyle pushrod system a bolt-on upgrade, or is there any modification required ?

Thank you so much Cagey My mate Serge is very excited now and as is figuring out doing so on his brand new R300 😬 You and Dave are now superstars on Autoroule ! see my thread here Cheers, Pierre Edited by - Pierre Gillet on 11 Mar 2006 09:12:17

Thanks Cagey for Gary's numbers. Looking at Richard's (RIF) Seven , I would say it should be difficult since FreeStyle widetrack is aerofoiled. here Pierre

My mate's Seven is already wide tracked and would like to know please if a FreeStyle pushrod system could be adapted to his CC widetrack ? Thanks. Pierre

Cagey thanks, that's good news. Cheers, Pierre

Would a Freestyle push rod Widetrack cope with a 1997 chassis ? Pierre

A mate just hinted that they are more related to turbulences around the cone than generating a downforce. Pierre

All right ... so 35 g would seem to be a more likely figure 😬 😬 😬 Pierre Edited by - Pierre Gillet on 17 Feb 2006 14:14:01

A 35 kg downforce on the nose cone can indeed break those nose cone mounts But what's the issue with the gear box ? Pierre Edited by - Pierre Gillet on 17 Feb 2006 14:11:13
