  1. Once the front cage is the right shape, a roll cage company can use it as a template to make from new tubes.
  2. Also some cage work - slicing, bending, tack-welding the existing front cage to a good shape. A fair bit more to do, but is looking quite homely now ... if you excuse the lack of paint at the moment !
  3. Not quite this week, but MGF hubs, rotoflex uprights, brake drums all painted up - all nice colours for the M.O.T. man.
  4. Well done for sorting so close to the 10CR starting. It's always annoying when a car doesn't sit straight. Any chance the leaf spring could be sagged slightly one side?
  5. Thanks mate. Might be the way to go for me too. Thanks.
  6. Great stuff, thanks Nick. Yep, hopefully good. Wheel bearings arrived today. Links in wet paint almost ready for bearings.
  7. The machined depth for the bearing does seem to be 38.5mm as per the dimension drawings, so hopefully good.
  8. Thanks, Nick. Once the bearing is in, I'll know if the stop is in the right place. On second thoughts, I will measure it first. Thanks, yes, I've been collecting parts for a while now. Okay, if the ABS ring doesn't catch, I may leave it on. Thanks for your help.
  9. My MGF CV joints have the ABS sensor ring on them. Is it easy (ish) to remove them? Cheers.
  10. I've been working on my rotoflex links/MGF hubd this week. Links back from Mr. Speedy after being machined for MGF bearings, cleaned up, and in etch primer. MGF hubs cleaned up and ready primer. Rotoflex brake drums and backplates ready for wire brushing.
  11. Shell usually has E5 unleaded (super), and so do many Tesco petrol stations. ASDA have said they will not be stocking/selling E5. Hope that helps.
  12. Last week (if that counts), I got the clutch release bearing sleeve/gearbox shaft etc all greased up, the engine and gearbox back together, into the car, and the car back on the ground. Next step is clean/bolt back the inlet manifold and carb, sort the air filter, and get to work on bonnet maintenance/repair. I hope you are all doing okay in the warmth we've had this month!
  13. Hi AJ, Thanks so much for this, that sounds great. But I'll see who's about in the UK first. The postage to get my roto links out to California and then back again would be quite high, and that's before labour costs. Thanks though, I appreciate it. Cheers, Andi.
