Spa trip
You're lucky. I think that the Brighton speed trials may have overheated my clutch,causing gear selection problems, so by thurs night I've got to take out engine/gearbox, repair clutch & replace. Whilst working normal hours. A chalange to be ready for next friday, shame not to go by Tiger.

Great minds think alike. I have a set of Cosworth discs & calipers off e-bay to fit as a winter project. i reckon all you need is a mounting plate made up to bolt on the axle flange to take the caliper. Some adjustment of mounting the disc will be needed for alignment. And finally sorting out hand b...

wheels what size
I'm biased, but love the 15x6 revolution 5 spokes on my car. Fill the arches ok, good choice of tyres, & can run Brembo brakes inside. Plus everyone run Minilites or Panasports.

Yes its a 1/4 mile drag on Brighton promanade. Ordinary road surface, reckoned to be 1 sec slower than a drag strip. Imust find out how to load photos.

Brighton speed trials.
Well done Martin for winning the handicap cup by 1/10th sec. Despite Bobs tiger not wanting to rev past 4000 rpm, he did 13.83 @ 103mph. His best run was 13.73 @104.

Why bother with a bracket, use some stud into the threaded inserts on the front of the cylinder head to pivot alternator off. Much neater installation & uses a shorter fanbelt. I can't find how to display photos, but there was a short article in Cats Whiskers a year or 2 ago, with photos.

The common upgrade is to use a set of Brembo 4 pot calipers & vented discs from a Peugoet 406 V6 Coupe. The calipers bolt straight on & the discs fit after minor machining. But you ideally need 14 or 15" wheels. check out e-bay or breakers yards for parts.

I've used water wetter to great effect. It is a last resort, but does work well. Dropped temp by about 5-10c.
