Does anyone have any they could send me for LF please? Many thanks,

Not particularly helpful in the short term I suspect, but Northampton Motorsport are experts in the Weber Alpha ECU and are the only people I have found with a rolling road and the ability to re-program them. Your issue sounds more fundamental though... Good luck diagnosing, hopefully someone will be along with suggestions soon...

Fabulous news . Big congratulations from team Calvert.

I use a Hero 5 and it's all pretty positive. Image quality is simply fantastic. The one thing I'd say is that the fact that the unit itself is waterproof (so doesn't need a case) is both a positive, but also the only negative I can think of, which is the difficulty of adding an external mic. Without butchering an external case, using an external mic means opening up one of the normally sealed doors, meaning it's no longer waterproof. Battery life and software seem pretty good to me. Happy to lend it to you if you want a play?

Have you checked you haven't got a local company that does powdercoating? If it's just black you are after, they woud probably add your brackets to the other batches they are doing for not a great deal of money?

I've run one on my Xflow for about 12 years. I repack it about every 4-5 and it has ensured I've never had a noise issue on a trackday or sprint - highly recommended and Mike's workmanship is second to none...

As part of the "Lowflying Editor Service" that I offer, I’m always delighted to instruct on the "ideal" line around Fradley, as well as on the black art of getting a Seven that's stuck in the mud moving again:

Shaun - I thought the same until I looked into this more closely. However, section N of the Blue Book only affects Autocross and Rallycross.
-
Fingers crossed it all comes together in time Danny. Even if it isn’t possible to get your engine back together in time, hope we’ll see you at Curbs anyway. There are plenty of other class 3 competitors who I’m sure wonder what times their cars might be capable of (myself included) and who would be delighted to offer a dual drive...

My sincere thanks to all those who gave up their time / skills / crimp connectors and insulation tape to help ensure that H5 URF made it to the end of the day yesterday, after a "wiring loom to alternator fan interface" ended with the wiring loom coming off worse, shorting lots of circuits out and jamming the solenoid on. Other good news is that it looks like it's just the starter motor pinion that's suffered any permanent damage and the ring gear looks fine Thanks all. L7 Club at its best again...

There we have it then - Officially "FAKED"
-
Best Trump voice - "THIS IS FAKE NEWS" Sorry Dave, but your photos are clearly fakes. I can tell you for a fact that the concrete wall was far closer in reality than you show (thanks for the great shots )
-
Enjoyable day today I thought, and a pretty good addition to the calendar? Slightly on the pricey side perhaps, but a ‘proper’ circuit with facilities to match. Here’s to another great season... -
Paul- thanks, yes saw that, but couldn't get hold of one in time for the first sprint of the season this weekend... Will be ordering a spare however!
-
Now sorted - thanks to all for your help It turns out that M13 with a 1.25 was indeed a Ford standard at one point. Having followed plenty of blind alleys, it took a trip to Vulcan Engineering at Brands Hatch who managed to dig one out for me.
-
Looks like i was sent down a false trail. Although my broken bolt fitted a 1/4BSP thread, it looks more likely that it's actually a M13x1.25 Time to trawl the motor factors...
-
Certainly hope so
-
Thanks All. Mike - any chance you could send me a link as I can’t see anything on Screwfix Having spent the afternoon driving around different places, I finally thought I was sorted after a visit to Think Automotive who supplied me with what they say is a 1/4”BNF bolt. Trouble is, although it looks indistinguishable from the original, it doesn’t fit the thread cleanly and it’s fractionally bigger on the micrometer. So - mission for tomorrow is to find out whether the advice I received from local merchant that the old bolt was 1/4”BNF was wrong, or whether what Think Automotive gave me was. Joy

As per the title, I am looking for a 1/4" BSP sump plug which appears to be what is fitted to my James Whiting sump, but has sheared. Am supposed to be competing at the weekend - any suggestions welcomed!
-
Go on then - who is in? I convinced myself I wasn't going to but somehow, clicking "buy" on Paypal last night proved just too easy...

I'll never fill the front page now :-p
