That's a bummer Dave, you can share my car if you want, only got one harness in it though ?

Aintree's this Saturday, still got me rear shocks to sort (see position of radius arm in photo ! ) and some decent rubber. Off to the garage then .....

Really enjoyed it at Aintree today, got my suspension sorted now, the R7's were excellent but the curse of the defective Minispares rockers struck again with yet another loose adjuster screw (despite being double nutted) causing yet another bent feckin valve ! Only one place for 'em, the bin !

So another early bath but a very well organised day by Liverpool MC, superb circuit ,very quick and not too much to hit (despite a Cobra's attempt to get over Bechers Brook) one to look out for next Spring. Nice also to meet John Marsden again for the first time in many years and George Povey, both local lads. (I had to keep an eye on my alloys) (I joking !! )

Thats a lovely looking Hornet. What is the spec ??, just for interest .

Not far off a class D car Mike, S lump with a short stroke and big pots.JK 4 sync box with a Quaife slippy.45 Weber. Looking at getting the weight down next.

Blimey !!!, as quick as mine then !!.
Must be good fun on the road.
Cheers

Sounds like a great event Pete, the car is looking awesome. How did you get on at Three Sisters?

The handling at Three Sisters Tom was dreadful due to a bent/seized O/S rear shocker and anti roll bar fouling a tyre. Sorted the bar out but the shocker meant another early bath. There were always going to be lots of niggles with this car especially the bits I farmed out unfortunately.

I'll probably run into similar issues... that is when I finally finish my build! Engine still isn't in
