I'm going in person and to the world masters at Mildenhall on Sunday although it's give out rain.

 

[Baloo]

I used to go in person but I'm old and lazy now lol, it's a long drive to Kingslynn and for less than the price of the fuel to get there I can watch the whole weekend as many times as I like from my armchair lol
true the hot dogs arnt the same but it won't rain on me
enjoy the racing

The chap fitting our new kitchen is off to Kings Lynn tomorrow, he's an enthusiastic stockcar fan. I wondered if @Woody.v8 was heading down there, too

 

[Woody.v8]

A holy fulfilling day..

It depends where you look, different people have different ideas, it's only to clean the pads and a little extra cooling.
My new hubs will be completely different with mass produced proformance discs.

 

[Woody.v8]

Some spacers for the cylinder heads, so the block is level with the heads for sandwiching between the engine plates to keep things together.

Building up and machining bearing surfaces on axle tubes.

Went to fit the starter, no Buenos, the oil pan has been made for the bigger flex plate, It took a bit of determination to cut into such a nicely made thing....
just got to get some blue glue around it tomorrow.

 

[Woody.v8]

Welded up the oil pan ,It isn't as neat as I'd like but I'm a bit out of practice with aluminium tig, starter fits now though.
And countersunk/bored the plates for the cylinder heads.

No room for a rear mounted starter ?

No room for a rear mounted starter ?

Not in this car really as the gearbox is in the cab with me and with being a single seater, there's not much room.
The guys that do run them have a heal and toe brake clutch pedal arrangement, maybe on the new chassis.

 

[Bullet2012]

Currently have a couple in stock, if you want one at a good price
