Yeah but as is the way now once the old guys retire it leaves a massive void. What used to be the normal standard for the old school guys becomes an exceptional standard for everyone else. That’s means the majority are then happy to do a normal job which is what you’d call sub standard years ago. But that’s enough ranting!
Cheers Rob, sorry to see you get taken out at Mallory hope there’s not too much damage.
bent rear beam and knackered door, so not too bad.
penmouth: oh well see you next year.
that's crap russ sorry to here that.
It doesn’t mate, in an ideal world it would strengthen the mounting pints however I think there’ll always be more room for unwanted movement in the bush/bearing joint where the actual beam mounts to the mounting brackets anyway imo.
Not even looked yet, hopefully get the engine on the stand at the weekend if I get time. I’m guessing it’s the combination of standard valves and too many revs.
Still need to build it yet! There’s a cottage on the site currently that I’ll be demolishing to build a ‘decent’ sized house. The existing old forge will be converted into my garage for now which is effectively a triple garage. However I’ll be building a proper workshop/garage that actually will be miles bigger than the house in the field. House comes with 15 acres of grassland + 5 acres of woodland and river. Will put some pics/info up once all the planning etc is sorted which is what I’m on with now.
Pretty much involved a load of Stikaflex/tiger seal mate nothing fancy.
Have raced in the tin tops a few times previously but don’t like the format unless you share the driving.
Donny, croft and cadwell worth it fir those, just a shame no Oulton again. Obviously you can just dip in and out of both series as you wish.
Me too!
