Gutted for you Tim. And to think you helped me overcome the same problem not so many runs ago.
-
Can't think what you mean.
-
Good luck to all. I'm really missing the buzz ! Just remember, it's not a race!! It's more like four track days !!! Keith

Equalize piston heights regardless of whether you want them recessed, level or proud.

I've always refaced and then used 'Kasenit'. May be difficult to locate these days, but I'm still working my way through a large tub bought in the seventies.

Spare a thought for ex-members.

Always used County items. Wrist pins are a trifle weighty, but no other issues.

Yeah, agree with John. Made my own rig for rod balancing, but it took a lot of thought to get it consistant. MkIII seems to be spot on. (Pharma balances are really way too accurate, but use the toys you've got). Just adapted it for F**d sizes.

Is Paul Burgess in that area ?
-
Bit of a thread drift, but is anyone using a Lucas 'constant energy' set up ? Opinions??
-
Have requested reserve place at Silverstone. Now just have to wait and see.
-
Got the wheels which I presume are straight fit, but what tyres would be best ? Any clearance problems?
-
I like those last ones. Constantly refacing the pads for ultimate friction. Run very cool, and so light.

Thanks to our IT department there should be two images here.

Hi Rob, Not easy to contact, I agree, otherwise I wouln't need to ask advice on here. Kids eh?
-
Both of Marcus' pics are MkI and MkII 'work in progress' by my son. I am approaching this from a slightly different angle. All geometry will be as original, but I am aware of the problems associated with offset springing. BTW I do like AVO,s but admit to fitting spherical bearings every time.
-
Marcus, Hi. I already have tubular bottom wishbones and have now made top arms pivotted from a billet aluminium crossmember mounted on the diff. This gives me near equal lengths top and bottom. One polibush at end of crossmember and one rose joint to upright per side I really need guidance with length of shocks and, more importantly, length of spring.
-
Well, after poking about with a tape measure and scanning the 'net. I think it will be something on the lines of 8.5'' - 12'' AVO's with 6'', 200lb springs. Someone here must have already done this and can steer me through the endless combinations.
-
If someone had finally finished making up his top links and now wants to dispense with the transverse spring. How would he go about selecting shocker sizes and spring rates and lengths ? Let's assume he has a MkII GT6 :) :)

£368 got me 263 litres. I clocked 2234 miles........... 38.6 mpg and did not pussy foot around !
-
I can't see any spring eyes, but that could be an age thing. Fabricated uprights ?

Who's got what to do for 2012?

Gearbox coming out at the week-end !! Really strange clutch fault. -
Thanks Bradley. Looks quite neat and the right colour to boot.

I have a yen to remove my MkII GT6 overiders and 'hide' the hinges a la Picton / Bancroft. Has anyone got photos or drawings, or even foolproof instructions, where to cut, what to weld etc.?
