  1. Will be back soon. Very busy. Lots of nice news. Ta.
  2. Dave is back for good. Peace and love. Yours. Sideways. X
  3. Sorted it with a seal pack from eBay. Few days work and nearly ready. Thought clutch slave cylinder from Mondeo was fingered but works fine, so no engine out, very pleasing. All in for £750 to get it working minus tyres. Will get some Yokohama A048. Not cheap but nice. Thanks for advise. The new seals perfect. Few snags to overcome but only minor. Have nice Rimmers fibreglass hardtop I'll fit. Will mod with polycarbonate bolted on rear screen. Horn diffective and washer pump. Also fan controller. All on way. Great to get going and enjoying the spannering. Hard to believe it's been 14 years. So relieved about the clutch. Would be £350 as I need engine crane. Probably drop the diff as minor leak on output flange. Also rig a 45 degrees pipe from the silencer for Castle Combe and fit another silencer in the carpark as it's a bit loud. All the best DaveSoonToBeSideways.
  4. Hey. They came from a forum user. Thanks. Dave.
  5. Hello. Belated good vibes to all. Have question. See pic. These wishbones came from GT6Mike CT forum. Seals have split so new joints needed. Anyone know what they are? Maybe the man himself? Loathed to remove and fit standard wishbones and ball joints. Cheers. Dave.
  6. Did a skydive once. Good fun. At the landing strip on arrival there were nice new planes and a grotty old Cessna with green algae in it. The Cessna was our plane! Glad I had a scute on honestly. Jump above light cloud was fun. Then the guy im strapped to starts spinning around fast and aggressively as we approach terraferma. Felt sick as a dog on landing which kinda ruined it. Forgot to breathe on way down and greyed out too. Had to have a sit down. Went to thank the guy after and he is in his VW camper smoking a bong before his next jump. Happydays.
  7. You will need small air jets and different mains also. There is no answer but to experiment once u are sure the fuel levels / floats are set correctly.
  8. If the 5 tube is too active in the early mid range try a 6.
  9. Unlikely. Thank you though. I might start recommissing the spitfire in spring. Just needs new fluids, a clutch slave that’s sticky, 4 new tyres and petrol. Wash it’s a bit dusty. Bar that it’s exaclty as I left it in 2010. MOT. Like all things I enjoy my bipolar disorder ruins them all after a while. I’ve been to far off in distract lands to consider taking back on any potential stresses and past loves. Things quite stable last 6months. Kinda thought if I had a stable year I’d get the car going again. Cant face rear suspension design and execution at this time tho. So it’ll remain a bit lethal on swing axles. Probably used for the odd track day and no road driving bar on Sunday. Roads so congested with dawdlers and no one overtakes anymore compared to the past, thesedays I’d rather not drive much on the road cause it’s not 1996 any more when every road was my own personal racetrack. I used to be a very naughty boy.
  10. Maybe Nick. If luck run at my side in card games, evenly, as often as I shoved my chips in ahead I’d be retired twice over. Read u had a few health probs, good to see u better.
  11. I hope you don’t mind me vaping in the corner!? Ill have a lemonade if you’re buying. If I’m talking gibberish join in. Heres a recent mugshot so u can identify the original gangsta, the great divider and conqueror of political correctness, the inventor of the “speak ur mind” game. Im retired these days and forums won’t get in the way of my knitting and other healthy elderly pursuits like playing Bridge with the WI. Tx.so long. Maybe the next time won’t be quite as long a time. DNSS xx
  12. Rules. What rules. Rules be made to be broken! This place only appeared as McJim commites public suicide and banned me cause I told him to F off in a private message. I wonder if he still posts there. You know posting a load of useless crap and enjoying meaningless banter with his tribe of eager cliques. When I hacked the CT board and read the private message board only moderators can read I was quite surprised to see what goes down in there. Well, so long my loves, till the next time. Yours.

  13. Had a nice delivery from Italy Rocky SRL. Good for Dellorto Parts.
  14. I raised the rack about 4mm, and raised the trackrod ends (rose joints) a few mm too, according to the measurements that reduced any bumpsteer to a minimum. I made the spacers for the trackrod ends (rosejoints) bespoke for each side as each side needed a different setting.
  15. Probably just easier to blame the fasteners, instead of admitting to some other "spectacular" cockup.
