Spotted within a few minutes of each other on Sunday morning:- McLaren Mercedes SLR Spider and Audi R8 R8 in particular is a great looking piece of kit. All IMHO of course 😬 Bozz

Jo Shall I come round and try to explain? Not now, but perhaps tomorrow at some point? Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Jo I'm already committed to helping Darren with dressing his engine this w/e but could drop off some Loctite if you need it. Can I assume that you'll be doing this by unbolting the bearing housing from the ear and extracting the driveshafts as an assembly with the discs? Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

No foam at all in my K A product of the devil if you ask me Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Phil As I understand it the plastic dowels were used to avoid damage (to the head gasket) during initial engine assembly in the factory. Maybe it was Oily who told me this when he was fitting a new HG and steel dowels to my engine a year or so ago. Can't remember now (old age). Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

I have one from a 1997 roadsport with the through tube and under tube shock mounts. £50 plus P&P Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Tony Must admit I do remember the fitters going all 'misty eyed' talking of the 28LBer but never actually saw one. Had enough trouble swinging a 14 especially when perched on a scaffold board 60ft up in the air. 😳 😬 😬 Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Tony Actually I do possess various BFH's including a 14pounder for use with flogging spanners 🙅🏻‍♂️. Not found a use for one of these on the K yet though 😬 😬 Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Tony No you're probably right 😳 I didn't realise that Tim had already got the head off. It was the reference to a BFH that worried me a little 😳 😬 😬 But then I is an engineer so what do I know Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Tim I don't mean to be rude or dismissive of your abilities as a mechanic but it may be prudent to let someone like Dave Andrews do the job and for you to watch and even help. Then the next time you need to do it (if you do) at least you'll know all the pitfalls and the tricks and tools you'll need to work on the 'K' Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Dave That's sad news ☹️ Blatmail me Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

On the SLR 4-2-1 I was under the impression that the secondaries were replaced by a 4-1 collector and cat and that no changes were required to the silencer to accomodate. Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Well spotted *wavey* See you tomorrow for the blat to the Surrey meet 😬 Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here

Rich I think they vary a bit in length but on my EU2 engine (no heater) the 5/16" (16mm) section is about 500 to 600mm long from the water rail to the inline adaptor piece where the hose changes size. All as far as I can remember. Bozz McLaren Orange and Black 1.6SS 6 Speed here
