WORK IN PROGRESS

After Millbrook made our engine sick, we have took the engine out for repairs/improvements and we now have another engine to use in the mean time.  I may as well write about this, as we are doing a lot of work and not a lot of playing -lets hope its worth it!

GEARBOX

We have fitted a Race ratio box, its a top move and has made a noticeable difference in high gears.  Why does nobody do a gear kit for these anymore??

SUMP

With a new engine being built we thought it was time to install further oil cooling and extra baffling.  The job so far:

No.2 ENGINE

We thought we would throw in an old donkey to get us by.  However nothing in life is that simple and now we are replacing the timing gear, lightening the bottom end, and fitting bearings....where does it end??

It has ended.  Here is the car in Isle of man trim....more ride height and lights.

GEAR LINKAGE

We Got Uncle Stringer (Thanks again) to machine us an adjustable gear lever, We can use various lower levers now combined with an adjustable height billet upper lever.  This deletes the rubber joint to the standard lever.  We also replaced the compressed felt pad, pin, plastic shims, body mount and a rubber (shimmed with a washer) - No more sloppiness!!

Above: Billet lever......Slides on standard lower lever (Top half removed)......Complete.

No.1 ENGINE

No rush for this now,  we can spend some time and get it right for next year.  Here's the pistons:

We have also had a clamp turned to hold the slotted cam wheels in place to avoid dowelling after adjusting the cam timing.

The engine is complete now we just need to fit it and get it mapped.  

SUSPENSION

We have to mount the Anti-Roll bar back on the strut where god intended it to go after the new struts came back without the pick-up points.  Done!
