I've retained the seals to keep it dry and used spacers and self tappers (not my favourite solution) to hold the bottom.

Ads Have you tried fitting the pedal box yet? The model I bought from CompBrake, I sent back because the fit was 'a bit off' and the weight was almost twice the advertised weight. They didn't answer any of my emails and I had to get a refund via Paypal in the end. I hope you have better luck...

I'll give it a go!

Thanks, but teeing the two rears together joins the both 'halves' of the master cylinder together so any failure would mean total brake loss.

Hi All I'm about to fit a Tilton brake bias valve to my Cup (sprint and hillclimb car) and was hoping somebody who has successfully done this could confirm the way they've plumbed it. I was planning on taking the rear brake feed from one of the ports on the master cylinder and blanking off the...

Thanks Matty. That makes sense! I'll need to make some brackets up to support the outer ends too.

Hi all I'm thinking of fitting just the top half of the dash to my Cup (sprint and hillclimb car) and was hoping that somebody who has done this can tell me if it supports itself without the dash bar? Thanks Wyn

Yes. The Standard Car class is new.

11.9 is an additional class for Standard Cars (5000 plus produced per year) - there don't appear to be any changes to regs for Roadgoing Series Production Cars and Roadgoing Specialist Production Cars apart from mentions of the Standard Car Class. Wyn

11.9 is for the new Standard Class, not Road-Going Series Production Cars (the usual A1, A2 etc).

There are no restrictions in the Blue Book on which wheels you can use. Also, 1B tyres are allowed in road going categories ("11.6.2. Except for Period Defined Vehicles (Non-Rally) A-H inclusive tyres are to L List 1A and List 1B"). Individual championships may introduce their own classes...

Welsh Sprint and Hillclimb Championship. I live in West Wales so my best option. Ran in the road rally class this yet and did ok. Championship is based on class records. Going mod prod next season :-)

I forgot to say that my preference is to sit the new tank below the floor in the same position as the existing tank, but just on the passenger side.

Some useful info gents. Thanks. For me the main focus , isn't the weight saving from the tank, fittings although it would be good to make a saving, but the ability to control the amount of fuel I'm carrying around - I have a strong feeling that there is quite a large reserve in the original...

Thanks Mash - that's useful!
