thanks guys...thought I might be opening a can of worms 😬 Dave (Morris) - if only ❗ the 193 was at the flywheel - not on the road as you say Norm - it's more than fast enough for my limited capabilities......time to invest more on the driver me thinks. I'm with you Andy - only understood some of the technical explanations Rog

according to my last dyno results I'm losing 40+ hp between the two. how can I retain more of this loss - different gearbox for example 🤔 set up is 193hp Xflow - std Ford 5spd box - 15in prisoners with 195/45 CR500s or is this type of loss typical and i'm stuck with it Rog 🤔

well I've just fitted the new clutch pedal received this morning from Caterham. It has the offset bracket as mentioned by Pete and others, so the end of the cable can be securely fixed between the offset bracket and the main pedal stem. problem is - as you look from the drivers seat, the cable takes a hefty dog leg from offside to nearside. *mad*it's almost as if the hole in the pedal box case that takes the cable through is in the wrong place If i put the 'eye' on the offside of the offset bracket it lines up better, but then it kinks over as you depress the pedal which is what caused it to snap last time. anyone with any pics - would be very helpful Rog
-
Having just had another cable go whilst at Le Mans - I followed up on other treads. Someone mentioned the correct clutch pedal should have an offset? my pedal appears to be straight. please could someone send me a picture of the correct pedal for a de dion xflow cheers Rog

Just received my Red Top 20. Realised I now have a problem connecting the quick release clamps that used to fit to the old battery's standard posts. Are there any 'adapters' available? Cheers Rog
-
Dave you were right the first time. I'm not bothered about the sensor as I haven't got an oil temperature guage anyway....it came with the engine. It is an 1800 Roger King all steel xflow I'll give Burton/Vulcan a ring Cheers Rog
-
I've managed to break the oil temperature sender inside the brass plug. on removing the plug it has fixed to it some sort of filter that goes across the 'trough' at the bottom of the sump pan Where can I get a replacement from 🤔 Cheers Rog

now that I've got the new head back (thanks to Chris W and Antonio), I need to put the head back on. I've drained the system as much as I can - drained the oil pipes etc. I know there will be dregs of emulsified water/oil in the system. What's the best way of making sure everything is completely clean ...head off or on?(I've bought plenty of flushing oil)...is there a recommneded sequence? it's now been six months 'sans 7' any advice is appreciated Rog

Norm I remember the 'all-kinds-of-weather' drive to your place on the first/second Sunday this year? I thought I lived in a pictureskew corner of Derbyshire but I think you're corner of West/South 🤔 *confused*Yorks probably beats it. Having spent most of the last 2 months travelling I didn't know you and Lynne were off to la belle France. Enjoy your retirement and lesepting Rog

thanks all - only do about 3 track days a year....so I'll go for the Mintexes Rog
-
It has just occured to me that I'll have to look at replacing these soon. Any recommendations as to the manufacturer to use (current ones are Lucas) The original owner of car put the 'big brake' kit on the front only. '91 Xflow cheers Rog
-
anyone know where I can get a head crack tested in the Derby /Notts area 🤔 Rog
-
Pete I use the same technique with copper gaskets from 7Workshop and together with the support bracket (see above) - mine have lasted 3 years worth a look Rog
-
Burt you may want to follow the link below - had exactly the same problem as you. Now cured with the support bracket mentioned on the link. If you want piccies I'll try and find where I've put them. email off line if you want Rog here
