It’s not like I didn’t take a picture in the garage last night!

Straight off the trailer!

Been there, done that, got the tee shirt ! SBFS made a half hood for my 250, took a while, and a bit of toing and throwing, but pleased with end result. They hadn't made one for a 250 before with taller screen. Sent all dimensions as Daves post above, and Got the hood shape and dimensions right after making a template. Then had similar problems to you with strap lengths. Sent them photos with dimensions required, spoke to Tristan, and like Dave says they supplied longer straps for sides and rear. Initial short straps Final long straps that now fit Position of poppers on body Now fits a treat, don't seem to have any shots with it fully fitted! It was a bit painful to be honest, but excellent end result.

Selling my Harris crossflow. Engine is currently in my car so can be seen running and won’t be removed until sold or at least I’ve taken a deposit. Call this a gauging interest ad if you like but I am serious about selling but it won’t go for peanuts I’d rather keep it. The engine has covered 1,500 road miles (this is backed up by invoice dates and Mot’s) and three Trackdays. It’s a serious engine that could be used for racing or for a fast road car. Been dyno’d at about 160/170hp allowing for dyno differences! Very strong and pulls like a train.

Bit of a new year update:MOT passed last week with zero advisoriesInsurance renewed, slight increase but that was down to Agreed Valuation needing to be increased to reflect recent sale prices of other SEiGHTs Wheels refurbished in a slightly darker shade of grey -n they were 99% oerfect as they were but just wanted a subtly different look to them New Caterham CSR vented style carbon wings ordered from Carbon NVRun out yesterday - over to the superb Chocks Away diner with a few Tiger and Cobra replica owning friendson the Broughton Airbus site followed by a run over to the Ponderosa on the Horseshoe Pass then back home via Oswestry - a nice 130 mile Sunday run, even if trying to put down 330bhp on cold, damp roads was pretty challenging

This didnt happen without pictures. Its the rules

I agree!

It's not a great idea and can be a problem with some scrutineers. Interestingly as they worry you may be trying to hide damage underneath it.

I think the joining fee pays for itself. I bought my first Westfield yesterday from a a WSCC member.

Maybe a couple of cats paw footprints for wheels

Try some swarfega and a scrubbing brush

Looks cool The red exhaust looks like an AA battery and the font looks very "simple" next to the puma swiggle I prefer without in Ross' edit

Just open the sump & let the contents dribble out overnight . It will be fine & look just like mine

If it is bad then the newest way is to use an Enzyme cleaner. The blurb below tells how it works and the type of product. There are plenty of these in the UK you just need to have a look around, they are not cheap but do work if left long enough The most recent advancement in the removal of oil stains from concrete involves using special single-celled microorganisms that thrive on crude oil and its derivatives, eating them up like candy. Enzymes and oxygen digest the oil and turn it into carbon dioxide and more microorganisms. When the food source (oil) is gone, the microorganisms die, leaving the concrete clean and oil-free. This is the same technology used to clean beaches and waterways after large oil spills. Two sources for these microbial cleaners are ESI (www.esiclean.com) and KT Microbial Products (www.ktmicrobialproducts.com).

My old metallurgy etc days from university are a long time passed now, so theory may have moved on and changed. But from a point of view of high strength items like a crankshaft, I was always taught that forging was the way to go, as it caused the grain of the metal to realign and follow the shape. What we now refer to as billet items were considered very much a second class approach where ultimate strength was concerned, as there was no re-flow of the material, instead it was simply cut across the grain as part of the shaping process. It’s big advantage though was cost.

Ah right then, looks like track days it is then. It’s all totting up and adding a cat into the mix will just be too much hassle and cost
