Hi all Howsafe is proud to become a WSCC Trader and will shortly be offering a standard discount code for all products featured on our website (we have a new website launching soon that will allow this feature - our current website is a little slow and clunky, but it does the job) Having said that for anyone looking at spending a few bob it would be a very good idea to ring me directly and I will provide a no obligation quote - see number below or email me on clark at howsafe dot co dot uk Please note if you prefer to work from a brochure, let me know and I will send copies in the post. I have already provided embroidered garments and other workwear for a number of folk on this forum, so to become a fully fledged trader seems like the right thing to do and helps support the club. I look forwards to working with you. Thank you Clark (AKA Cleggy)

1/ The Grim Reaper came for me last night , and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner. Talk about Dyson with death. 2/ A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid. When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop any time.... 3/ I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin , 3 hours later and they're still walking about with it. I thought to myself , they've lost the plot!! 4/ My daughter asked me for a pet spider for her birthday , so I went to our local pet shop and they were £70!!! Blow this , I thought , I can get one cheaper off the web. 5/ I was at an ATM yesterday when a little old lady asked if I could check her balance , so I pushed her over. 6/ I start a new job in Seoul next week. I thought it was a good Korea move. 7/ I was driving this morning when I saw an RACV van parked. The driver was sobbing uncontrollably and looked very miserable. I thought to myself that guy's heading for a breakdown. 8/ Statistically , 6 out of 7 dwarves are not Happy. 9/ My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning , can you believe that , 2:30am?! Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes. 10/ Paddy says "Mick , I'm thinking of buying a Labrador."Blow that" says Mick "have you seen how many of their owners go blind?" 11/ My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker. Well , she's not exactly my girlfriend yet. 12/ I woke up last night to find the ghost of Julie Bishop standing at the foot of my bed. At first I was afraid.......then I was petrified. 13/ Two Muslims have crashed a speedboat into the Thames barrier in London. Police think it might be the start of Ram-a-dam. 14/ The wife was counting all the 1p's and 2p's out on the kitchen table when she suddenly got very angry and started shouting and crying for no reason. I thought to myself , "She's going through the change." 15/ Local Police hunting the 'knitting needle nutter' , who has stabbed six people on the bottom in the last 48 hours , believe the attacker could be following some kind of pattern. 16/ Bought some 'rocket salad' yesterday but it went off before I could eat it! 17/ Murphy says to Paddy "What ya talkin to an envelope for?" "I'm sending a voicemail ya thick idiot!" 18/ Just got back from my mate's funeral. He died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service. 19/ 19 paddies go to the cinema , the ticket lady asks "Why so many of you?"Mick replies , "The film said 18 or over."

After umming and aahing since I got it, I finally decided where to put it. Looks great

Stick with yellow and carbon... Then add some black highlights.

Made me think of open all hours. V talented

i had a stirring this morning

Paul - Thanks for the chat.... look forward to seeing you in the future. cheers john

Renewed mine with A Plan this afternoon, Clare was her usual helpful self and gave me a great deal. Will probably go for parts only cover next year once I get an immobiliser fitted as there are big savings to be had. Big thanks to A Plan for great service - Again ! Keep up the good work

I am now with A plan insurance. I saved quite a bit on my renewal quote from my would be insurers.

I think the pictures fine as is

Part 3 Fitting the engine into the car (will it fit?) First mistake, I thought "hmm gearbox oil tricky to get to, I know I'll put a litre in then I'll only have to top it off" DO NOT DO THIS! I knew I would have to tilt it to get it in but didn't realise by how much I have now wasted 1litre of oil and added a "nice smell" to my hat and drive floor. Second mistake, "I'll fit the speedo cable just as we put it in the car" This is a pain in the @rse and I'm still not certain its in right. This was the hardest part of the job. I recommend Fitting the cable before putting it into the car and then tying it out of the way to attach to the speedo later. The rest is ok. 2 people are required, engine crane is required, anyone say "you can do it with jacks" is either extremely strong and/or likes pain. The engine crane made the job simple. Top tip give yourself plenty of chain to manover the engine. Oh and take off the intake side mount as it catches on the steering column on the way down. I have used tiger mounts as I have no welding experience. These are good but a little short so I will have to use rubber mounts and some spacers to fit. I have cut some wooden blocks to support engine in place wilst I work out what would be needed. Engine in on wooden blocks these are 52mm thick. Notice that the tiger mounts are a bit short sticking out. The standard westfield down and out exhaust is actually the main problem. With 52mm blocks the bottom of the exhaust still touches the chassis. So I need to raise the engine to give clearance. I will use 10mm spacers/plates to mount it. This means the engine will also be level, with ground clearance of 100mm plus. Now the disadvantage, it does'y fit below the bonnet. (photos to follow) I have decided to keep the westfield exhaust and have a bonnet bulge, as I have clamshell wings and don't want to go the cycle wing route, (I also like the idea of the engine being level). I am certain that if you wanted the engine to fit under. You could do it with a modified exhaust or "out and down" style and you don;t mind the engine tilted forward. More photos to follow.
