I definitely need better lamps in the GT6 I don't think I have ever had it out in the dark . Doing the run mid summer good idea to minimise the dark hours. Apart from the sticking rear brake cylinder swap on friday (thank god for local motor factors who got one same day) we had no mechanicals at all and she ran really well. Co driver before and after pics Love that GT6 T Shirt. Where did you obtain it please? Regards Bruce Edited July 7, 2021 by Rubce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ¼" pipe shouldn't be a problem. I have seen reports questioning the quality of more recent Grose jets, so may be an issue now. I fitted mine to the 4A over 30 years ago and they are still fine.

Redstag Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hi Docwad .. I tried Osram nightbreaker lamps in the Stag - difference between standard sealed beams and the Nightbreakers is absolutely night and day…I’d recommend those 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 LED headlights are legal again for our cars so would strongly recommend them - very good light and less load on the electrical system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt306 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Clutch Hydraulics have now been repaired, new seals for the master cylinder new slave ,s/h link pipe from Robsport as the one fitted was a length of copper pipe which isnt ideal to compensate for the engine movement. I took my clear glass filter, you know the ones from ebay, found it had a load of crud in it, I replaced it with a cheepo disposable one , not least as the pipe opening appeared very narrow.

MK Joe Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 What a fantastic event and I just wanted to thank the organisers, The Flamborough Head Restaurant workers but especially all the guys and gals (and the blow up doll..!) we met for the first time... Nicest bunch I have ever come across and so much brilliant advice, from way more experienced people than myself. Our only problem was a strap breaking on the back box and it being held up by 5 bungee cords at the finish. Thanks James Baldry for the picture. Also glad to see the crew of the Vitesse were safe and well but what a pity about the car.... it was a somber reminder..... Can't wait until the next one (and we are doing RBRR..)... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like daylight😃 and with the warm glow of traditional bulbs rather than the harsh white of LED's. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
