This car was at the Spa Six Hours earlier this year; See, at about two minutes in: As can be seen, black, red stripe down the side, no reg.no. It wasn't in the actual Six Hours as that's for supercars, but there were three days of racing at the meeting, too many to search for and find where it raced. Anyone know whose it is? John

Why faff with a flywheel? The 2 litre Triumph engine uses a 215mm plate, as does an early 1.8 MX5 so easy to swap. Then a CSC. I think Nick may have used the MX5 plate (but CBA to go back through his most excellent thread)

Just stumbled across this modified gt6, assume it’s Triumph powered.  

So it would appear - that TW was from 2013

That jacket was mighty impressive. So will all gas canisters, in srorage, have to wear one ........I bet not.   Roger

BiTurbo, I'm puzzled!   If you have an physical Triumph plate, you could mark out an adaptor by drilling though that onto the blank. I have some six-cylinder plates you could have, but don't know if they are the same as on a Spitfire. John

This one?   See from 3:30 in. Sad to say, I've never seen those covers in use!   John

Think boiler explosion….. The Blackcap incident sounds a bit spicy! Youngest brother is a fire protection engineer and has some interesting tales of destruction, initially involving LPG cylinder fire tests, one of which sounds rather similarly sketchy. He had a brief outing on Tomorrow’s World with video of a trial of an LPG cylinder protection container he’d developed (sorry, I’ve failed to find it). There’s also a tale of the public (and entirely intentional) cremation of a brand new and fully fuelled LNG Volvo at an exhibition in Sweden, where the organisers had completely failed to appreciate the scale of the “flamethrower effect” of the pressure relief valve….. averted by himself intercepting couple of spectating senior firemen just as the kerosene was being lit and convincing them that things were about to get ugly. This resulted in a very hurried extending of the perimeter. More recently he’s been blowing up large EV battery packs, which has resulted in the complete destruction (unintentional!) of at least one shipping container.

For me, a book on Triumphs 😁

I hope you all see the analogy of the above to raising the CR of your engine!   And at lesser degree than Colin, memories of youthful experiments with home made explosives (only fireworks, officer!)  aka pipe bombs.    I won't mention the recipe! John
