Hi John,
Yes, I am fully aware of the rebuild costs, I was at the helm on our way to Le Mans a few years ago when the engine let go, Dad was sat at the side of me when it bellowed oil out of the louvres. Fortunately it was nothing to do with me, but a cracked block. Roll on a bad engine rebuild by a well known specialist and a couple of years of poor running and it finally got sorted with another rebuild at Norris Motorsport in Alfreton where the Webbers were replaced with a throttle body. I have had very little involvement with the car since the rebuild, so I am on a learning and reacquainance curve now. The socks that were fitted had reached the end of their life, so to save it swallowing another one, I have removed them completely. I am yet to run the car without, but I will be taking it a short run tomorrow into Derbyshire just for a shakedown.
I have several options now to try and find some sort of solution before Oulton Park at the end of this month for the Gold Cup event.
Does the reduced diameter trumpets have any effect on the running of the car? I can’t imagine it would do but worth asking the question.
Cheers
John
