Woohoo - Car is back on the road after a "mini" winter strip down that ended up taking rather lomger than expected (don't all "quick" jobs). Got cold and wet on the motorway. Drowned Rat Racing is Back 😬 Michael.

Considering entering the ladies' championship David 😬 Michael. -
Hmmm, I THOUGHT my ears were burning Just so you know, I have signed up to a rival "speed" championship this year too here Roll on Goodwood! Michael.

Neville - YHM. Michael.

Stripped and re powder coated by Arch last year - so excellent condition. Looking for £160 compared to £281 at Caterham. For collection from Berkshire or Hampshire or would consider packaging and shipping at cost. Michael.

And picture 6 is Mark Gibson at Triangle at Loton Park Michael.

You brightened up my trip into the office. I was in the Scirocco catching up. Regards, Michael.
-
Here you go - hopefully this sequence will help... here Best of luck - Michael.
-
I'll try to dig some out tonight unless anyone beats me to it. Regards - Michael.
-
Shaun I believe that AW does indeed have a good contact. I also have some parts to have powder coated if we could double up? MC

Unfortunately, the JW cast sumps are like the proverbial hen's teeth and went out of production a few years back. The last one I saw sold for several hundred pounds... Great bit of kit if you can get excited by sumps! MC
-
Thanks both - have pumped up and down but to no avail. Short of oil soungs plausible - silly question, assume it is "hydraulic oil" - where do I get that from? Thanks - Michael.
-
I borrowed a friend's dad's engine crane to get H5 URF's engine out, but unfortunately, it is not working properly. Symptoms are that it will only pump half way up, then won't go any higher. I suspect that it needs to be topped up with fluid, or possibly have a defective seal somewhere. Does anyone have any experience of servicing these? Thanks - Michael.
-
Who needs more than 8 valves anyway 🤔 Michael.
-
Southern Carbs in Wimbledon would be the local experts I am aware of. here Regards, Michael.
-
Malcolm - My measured back-depth on my existing 8 spokes which I provided was 113mm but I hope to receive the new MBs tomorrow and will take dimensions then. Mike is very knowledgeable and worth chatting with too... Michael.

I dropped my gearbox off at R&R this afternoon for a bit of attention. Phil took great pleasure in showing me the Titann LSD. Certainly looked like a beautifully designed piece of kit. Then he tried to explain how it worked and my brain exploded Michael.
-
Only available from Caterham Midlands and then, only officially to Caterham racers. Might be time for some sweet talking! Michael.
-
Burghfield alternators near Reading are excellent - here Michael.
-
David - please derop me your email address - to mcalvert at aastra dot com. Regards, Michael.
-
Depends on what your definition of "good" is For something a little different how about here or even here See you next week Michael.
-
Can I make the leap of faith in that case that they would accept that a mechanical fuel pump (yes, some of of XFLOW luddites still run these) - is driven from the engine and is therefore directly controlled from the ignition? Michael.
-
Does anyone know if these are the same as for the standard FIA bar? Regards, Michael.
-
Does anyone have the size of the bolt that goes through the alternator strap into a Xflow block please. I've lost one and need to buy a replacement. Thanks! Michael.
