Darren B Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I think that comes down to personnal choice (i.e. not mandated). I did see some in use at Lydden end of last year, but I wasn't convinced about the 'getting out of the car in a hurry bit', which is why I went for carbon half doors as a middle ground Quote
Bones Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Picture B24 - I'll just cover my eye's and it will all go away la la la la b****r. Or just maybe, if I keep my hands firmly on my head my arm won't get thrown out and dragged under the car if it rolls. Tragically a Caterham driver lost his arm like that a few years ago. Do they still use arm restraints? Could think of a lot more item's inside the cockpit, that would offer i bit more grip than a shiny helmet Orrible feeling though, knowing there's nothing more you can do . Quote
gixermark Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 reminds me of a few years ago when racing karts - picked up a rear punture and spun the kart through 180 degrees - unusually i was at teh front and all i could do was watch the entire field coming towards me - and the bits of kart coming off very closely after.... badly damaged my back in that crash Quote
conibear Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 You got a transponder yet Jeff http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing....DP.html Quote
JeffC Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 You got a transponder yet Jeff http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing....DP.html new transponder arrived today right am on with the fire extinguisher (came today) , where did you all put yours this one is too big to fit in front of the passenger seat and It comes with two pull levers/cables to activate it, do I need to fit both if so where didnt want to put it on the scuttle as would make it harder to remove scuttle tia Quote
conibear Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 How about putting it above your fuel tank As our cars are open top, I am led to believe that you do not require a pull handle outside of your cockpit, so on your dash would be fine. But you need to be able to get at it whilst seated If you ask me, this is a grey area in the blue book and don't blame me if a scruttineer fails you Personally i have two, one on T dash and one on T scuttle Quote
custardtart Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 This shows mine, I have one pull handle by the bottom of the gearstick and one on top of the scuttle which is just visible. Quote
JeffC Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 cheers chaps will see how much it obstructs passenger foot well 2mrw and go rom there , dont think the pipe or cables are long enough to stick in the back Ian.. will fit on pull cable for now on the dash dinnat fancy on on me scuttle the amount of times I take it off would make it a pain in the suppose to have a scrutineer popping round for a butchers at the car see what else I need.. also ... Is there some rule about wheel nuts and the amount of threads Quote
conibear Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Is there some rule about wheel nuts and the amount of threads Yer, you need four of them How much thread you got available for T nut??? Quote
JeffC Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 Ive ordered 8 new studs today, when my rear wheels are on with the spacers fitted they only go on 4 full threads before they are tight Quote
conibear Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Ive ordered 8 new studs today, when my rear wheels are on with the spacers fitted they only go on 4 full threads before they are tight How long you've been flying around like that I know it's Paddy's day but honestly Have you a decent Life Insurance Policy PS, next time you buy a set of rear wheels get them circa ET0 to +5 How big is your trophy cabinet Quote

I had a blow out last year entering paddock hill bend at Brands travelling at about 130, all I can say, is it felt like loosing a wheel and somehow I got a way with it, it took me 24hrs to stop thinking about it. This year I had a slick actually tear the edge of my rim off, that wasn't fun either. I wish you luck, top of the morning to yer Quote
