    McLaren M1 replica

    Hi All, I have an empty side pod next to me on the driver's side of the car. The 60 litre fuel cell is in the left hand side - I'm not planning anything that would use more fuel than that. My thinking has turned to how to use the driver's side pod for energy absorbtion in a side shunt, and was...

    M20 Dreaming

    Russ K (and assorted interested kiwis only!) - I think you got lucky with the tech guys on the lower backstay mounts. I reckon your approach is neat, strong and fit-for-purpose, however the regs say hinge joints are specifically excluded in the principle structure, which is a defined term that...

    M20 Dreaming

    As a side note, no hinge joints are allowed in the principle structure either - this means regardless of how compliant you are in mounting the main hoop, if your rear stays are hinged so you can disconnect them when you lift the rear body work then you need to go the "free concept" route and get...

    anyone with Dellorto carb experience

    double check fuel delivery and float level for sure. Float level will have a major impact on idle and transition fuel and the commencement of the main circuit. Cheers, Andrew Robertson, New Zealand
