henry21p Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 only. steering rack and lower wishbones bu66ered enough to fail the MOT...... can't undo lower wishbones as 100,000 miles of rust has accumulated..... steering rack has no adjustment left in it. nice new shiny engine has to come out to provide access (maybe) certainly nice new hoses off, nice new apollo tank off etc etc etc Edited by - dave21p on 18 Mar 2005 18:48:14 Edited by - dave21p on 18 Mar 2005 19:54:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry21p Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 I'm posting this one unedited. Mr Kipling's words cannot be bettered IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, ' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Hibster. Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Dave This bit isn't you If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; You bet the toyshop on red and black came up I hope having you battery charger in my car (Tintop) and in my hand for 10 mins won't have jinxed me Would you be allowed to take Rachael's Seven to Anglesey ?

Myles Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Dave - if you need some help, I can probably manage some time this w/e. Mav's got my number if it's urgent - otherwise blatmail me regarding tomorrow. I could (conceivably) help after work sometime this week if you actually live somewhere not-unadjacent to the NEC.

henry21p Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Myles - ta, but the car is stuck at Clive's with no MOT or tax, so I'm dependant upon him. If it gets to weds and nothing doing yet, I may need a hand then to rescue it on a trailer up to the midlands. genuinely - thanks all for the support on the telephone/texts and on here. Haven't hung myself over this one yet. You WILL see me at the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 though if someone can help with some wishbones or info on steering racks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 They're wide-track though, aren't they? If I knew where any were, I'd have 'ad 'em myself... Project Scope-Creep is underway...

henry21p Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 does the blank look on my face answer your question???? Though I think you're right - ISTR that the widetrack was developed on the 21 before going on to the 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Dave, Following my extensive search of the tech area, I believe the rack to be based upon the Mini item, so refurb should be straight forward and reasonably cheap... Re wishbones etc, then as discussed yesterday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 trying to hunt down wishbones. looks like they're the wide track ones.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Caterham will carry them in stock... You could also try Redline, James whiting or caterham Midlands for starters. Some of the race teams may also carry a stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
