Excellent video Hamish. And the car sounds fab too

Saw this Larson cartoon... Which reminded me of this.... (antonym?, antojoke??)

Good work there paying off. Handling wise have you checked the basic geometry, toe-in camber etc as that can make a big difference to stability? It is a nice looking car

Good job Hamish well done. A few 'challenges' overcome. And very pleased to hear the car seems to have done the job too. Have a good anniversary celebration tomorrow

Stop being so reasonable

Priorities man.....priorities 🤣

This I believe. Certainly books on exhaust theory from the 1950s that I was aware of before getting involved with Triumph 6s were making the point that for effective scavenging the paired primaries needed to be on opposite points of the combustion cycle. So when I acquired a copy of GTs book his point about 6-3-1 manifolds seemed rather obvious to me. And caused me much frustration when trying to find a commerically available 6-3-1. Mind you a good number of the 4-2-1 manifolds seem to be made without much consideration of getting equal length primaries/secondaries even though this is relatively straightforward on the 4s.

This. A baffle front to back and one side to side as John says will do the job nicely. I would also suggest adding a lot more more drain capacity to the windage tray across the rear half of the plate. To be honest in my experience you can cut the whole rear edge off without resulting in surge and significantly assisting in oil return which is as critical a feature as surge.

This...

Gonna be a hot one... Good luck Hamish

Brilliant Ian. Only ever seen them from a distance and through the gloom. Fabulous weather. Nice you managed to take advantage

I hadn't realised the pump was up front on the bulkhead. Large volume of fuel high up in the hot engine bay might be able to produce enough vapour to cause the hot start problem. If your NASA foil doesn't do the job you might try relocating the pump out if the engine bay. Or at least lower down.

Having to do a job twice is always a ballache. Particularly that job. Good result

Very special John
