Not done the clutch as it was play free, only done 8000 miles. I would just make a set screw if required rather than a stud. 

You won't be able to fit it, as you have to slide it into the brake bracket then slide it into the clutch bracket.

DIY dipstick for my new OBP header tank.

 

Not sure my wife has noticed the missing wooden spoon yet! 🤣

 

What pressure is this cap?

The cap in the photo is a non-pressurised cap. I only use this as a dip stick.

 

I have an 1.3 bar cap on my header tank.

Thanks, thinking of getting a black header tank, before they run out, to replace the plastic header tank.

New and improved version

Spent the morning cleaning out the inside of the handbasin tap to stop it dripping.  

 

I swear, you didn't used to have to clean out the inside of taps. 

 

Progress?

Completed a proper brake upgrade today. Well, the chaps at my local garage (J Day Engineering) did.

 

Mine is a factory built car, from 1993, and having only done 4000 miles, was still on its original brake pads,  tiddly discs and tiny calipers from a Cortina, from back in the day.

 

Now it has sparkly new kit from Burton Power. HiSpec 4 pot calipers with the largest discs to fit inside my 15 inch Minilites, HiSpec braided hoses and Greenstuff fast-road pads, and fresh brake fluid. (Mine is very much a road car rather than a track weapon.)

 

Given the car is around the 400 bhp per tonne mark, I now look forward to it being able to stop as efficiently as it is able to proceed.

 

I'll collect it tomorrow. The only downside being it'll only be around 0 degrees C when I do.  

 

(Finally, for those that are interested in this sort of thing, the parts bill came to about £750 including delivery and VAT, while the labour was circa £350 including Vat. So £1100 all in. I'm perfectly happy with that.)

Do I need large fire extinguisher when I turn kill switch ON ?

 

I’m not sure right now if was a smart idea to convert a simple, reliable operating track-only Westfield with just a few wires, no handbrake, no horn, no proper indicators, nobproper lights, fog reverse ligjts,  etc.into a road-legal car… but I’m pushing ahead anyway
