Hey Grant, The workshop is based in Kent, near Brands hatch.

Thanks dude. Already ordered a replacement.

As the title says, anyone know of radiator caps failing? My 80 overheated on Sunday. I opened up the bonnet and saw dried up coolant all around the radiator cap. There were no signs of coolant leaking from anywhere else. The radiator cap wasn't letting the system overflow into the overflow...

So, going to have to put he build on hold for a while. Some c*nts broke into my workshop last week Thursday and pretty much cleared it out. And no I don't have insurance, I tried many times to get cover but never could find any company that would cover a workshop used for personal use that isn't...

Ah ok, yes Fusion360 gives me a weight estimate and CoG. But I don’t have the whole build in one programme. All of the tube work is in bendtech which does give a weight estimate but not CoG. There is a way to link bendtech to solidworks but the licence to do that ain’t cheap. I would dig to...

I know right! In hindsight I should have just bought a gearbox and restored the 70. But it was properly rotten so not sure how much of it could have been saved. You can run any axles you want, I think the downside on the mog axles is the weight. It is a speed/ Timed event so weight is...

Thanks dude. It's coming along, just soooo slowly. The ECU was very much a rum, lets call it investment. I'll pm you shortly. With regards to the oil pan, I'll get pics up as soon as it's done. If it works out I'd be happy to send you the cad files and you could always get someone over there...

Well over due update coming in, So a fair bits happened since the last update. First off, I decided to redo the front axle :fearscream:. Reason being that as I ditched the whole bell crank idea it just seemed a lot bigger and heavier than it needed to be. Whilst perusing another guys build I...

Sorry Clive! Not sure why I thought it was Frank. Cheers for the compliment. It's been and still is a massive learning curve.

Thanks Dude. Dimple dies are off of Ebay UK. But one complaint I have is that it's hard to match the hole size required for the die and whats available in terms of hole saws/ Step down drill buts so if you look closely the flares aren't perfectly centred. Knowing what I know now I'd go for a...

Hey Frank, There will be a smaller diameter tube, probably 1 1/4" going across similar to the removable tube I have above the fuel cell. but it will be laid more flat so as to not be higher than the roof line. Then I'll put some plate between this and the roof bar to provide a bit more...

This is a SCAM! I had a mate looking for a 100 series and he came across this several times, they just changed the minor details between ads. What will happen is you'll transfer the money to a "Holding" co. the cruiser will never arrive and your cash will be gone.

Hey guys, Figured a quick Pre Xmas update was in order. Well I figured out the driving position, and after much deliberation, conceded that I would have to go back to LHD. Reason being that with the engine being low and as far back as I can get it the throw of the clutch pedal hits the back of...
