Valvoline racing also recommended by Vulcan who built my X-Flow. Michael.

And some of mine are here. Cracking day Michael.

You don't say what your car is to start with but if you have an iron bellhousing then a swap to alloy is the chepest weight saving you can get... Michael.

Have just had a call with Shaun - sounds like it's been eventful. I'm sure we'll hear all about it after the weekend! Michael.

Brilliant news CONRATULATIONS Michael & Tam. Was going to edit because of typo, but as Founder Members of Drowned RAT Racing, have declded to leave! Edited by - Mcalvert on 11 Apr 2008 13:05:16

Sold to Tim Michael.

Certainly did - as expected very different from every concert he has done before but particulary enjoyable for the fact! You guys looked happy pulling out in the CRS too - wish we'd travelled down in the 7 now! All the best - Michael.

Were you at the Jean-Michel Jarre concert also? Michael.

Chris - a very easy thing to check if you wanted to pop around one evening? Michael.

Have gone widetrack, so have a Freestyle Adjustable Front Anti Roll Bar for sale. This is in "as new" condition - jusr re-powdercoated by Arch and with new rubber seals. Complete with fitting kit including nylon mounts. Looking for £100 plus cost of delivery compared to £165 new. Michael.

Not local to you but I have had good experience of Vulcan - here Michael.

Yes, same here. Just had the car reskinned by Arch and they have given me the replacement floor which I need to fit. Time to be a lemming down at B&Q and buy some self-tappers! Michael.

What is the best way of securing the honeycomb boot floor? My old wodden floor was held down with self tappers - Can you do the same with the honeycomb and maybe countersink the floor so that it is flush? Michael.

FANTASITC *thumbup* Great effort - I look forward to seeing it around this year! Michael.

Call Caterham technical - they sent me a two page (hand drawn!) diagram for a 91 Xflow a couple of months ago... Regards - Michael.

Certainly hope so Martin (due in no small measure to recent help from our esteemed competition secretary!) as well as Kipper and Shaun Elwell. Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon - Michael.

Answered my own question from the Swansea Motor Club - we are L7... Can't wait! Michael.

Thanks for the link - what class are we? Thanks - Michael.

Chris - had a feeling that if I did not respond to this, then you would! How is your rebuild coming on? Michael.

Yup, Nuts Michael.

Aha - looks like a thread with my name on it! She's beginning to look more like a car now - all the major mechanicals are back on with the exception of the front uprights. This is partly because I am waiting on the spacers from Caterham and partly because the stubs on the bottom of the uprights are (quite a bit) wider than the spherical bearings into which they are supposed to fit. I can only attack them with emery paper but has anyone else encountered this? Many thanks to those who have helped so far - Mark Durrant, Kipper and Shaun Elwell in particular as well as all those who have provided remote advice... As Tam, says, the wiring, then fiddly jobs like the rear arches, boot cover etc etc come next. Neil - your offer is greatly appreciated - I sometimes do manage to get away from work early enough to do the odd job in the evening but it really depends on work. If you have any particular date in mind then do drop me a call - mobile 07766 022864. I have just popped to the garage to take a few photos of her as she is today - here See you on the track later in the year! Michael.

I have a brand new Caterham one sitting unused in my garage. Yours for cost of postage plus a bit to NTL if you are interested... Regards Michael.

from a type 9 gearbox (because I now have a Stack electronic pickup) will I need some sort of cap to prevent an oil leak, or is it sealed? Thanks - Michael.

Ah - thanks. I'll get onto Caterham on Monday. So , the spacers just lift the taper so it goes only so far into the bearing? Thanks - Michael.

I'm starting to reassemble H5URF. I am converting from trunions to the later uprights on Widetrack. However, the uprights do not want to seem to fit into the spherical bearings - does it just take brute force? Looking at the online build manual (my original one does not cover the later front suspension) there is mention of a spacer (5/8" mm id x 3/4" od x 8mm) which should be inserted onto the bottom of the upright. I do not seem to have this, and anyway, the upright seems to be an over-tight fit anyway?!? What am I doing wrong? Thanks - Michael.
