Oily Steve Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Looks like you had a good day @Andrew Anglesey is one of my favourite tracks. I have only been twice so far, first time had a garage to shelter from the wind and rain, 2nd time to get shade from baking hot sun middle of last year. I think I know which I prefer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing the vids. Gutted I couldn't make it, love Anglesey. Lately every track day seems to have its little niggles.. OK in the end though. Just been checking over the car. Broken an alternator bracket.. again... Got a new gear stick and saddle ordered to see if I can improve the gear change.. Tyres might do another day..And it needs brake pads .. again.. Going to try at your recommendation Adam, some Ferodo DSUNOs. The 1155s have been OK tbh, but just in case I'm missing out on something.

AdamR Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Yeah it does seem that way... hopefully just a short term thing and you are getting through it now. How's the alternator mount failing? Any option to beef up or change to a different material? Good call on the pads, night and day from 1155s - I found them barely better than OE.

It's a home brew job. Tbf, I've beefed up other bits that have failed, and it's the first time this particular bit of my design has failed. I can see room for further beefage to be built into the repair. 🙂 34 minutes ago, AdamR said: Good call on the pads, night and day from 1155s - I found them barely better than OE. Will let you know how I get on. The current pads have hopefully another day in them. I'm going to try to remember to swap them at the end of the next day, and bed the new ones in. If I actually manage to do that, it'll be a first! 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
