    Spamola!

    M12x1.7x70mm Tubular bolt?

    Surely there's another less complicated way to attach/locate the required sensor? A small light bracket/tap or perhaps further inboard near transmission coupling? Having experienced an upright failure due to failure of a weld, I'd avoid compromising the capability of a design by reducing...

The under tray was awash with it and as the...

    Back from the Nordschleife

    Well - after a few hectic days, I got back from the Nordschleife (Nurburg Ring) after taking the TVR Griffith out for a 300Km race there - The ADAC Eifelrennen. For those of you who remember - we went last year too but having 'buzzed' the motor previously at Cadwell, were unsure whether it...

    Manx TT April 2010

    Well - to put the record straight as far as I understand it. The trophy was donated by Robin Batt of COH Baines for the fastest time up Lherghy Frissel by a GT40. I do not recall it being make specific but it 'may' have been aimed for normally aspirated only. When I was first chasing it, I...

    Always pushes out a litre of coolant????

    Where is the electric pump located in the system? If at the front, near rad, then I would have thought the issue might be the restriction of the thermostat being in place. Do they not recommend removing the stat when running electric pumps?...(although I've not seen a car with both...

    Discs running out of true, how to find the source of the problem?

    Hi Brett - Where did you source the discs/bells? I've seen some 'std GTD fit' bells that do not fit, without a slight chamfer to edge of hub facing flange, or s slight cut to the bell. Got any pics as that always helps.
