A full checkover of the underside after hitting some metal debris the other week, no visible damage but left some nasty witness marks along one silencer (& bust the mudflaps)

All lubed up ready for a tour of North Wales soon

Yesterday, actually, I picked up the new leather gearbox and driveshaft tunnel covers from the upholstery shop.

You need to peel back the rubber dust covers and wipe plenty of Ceratec around the end of the piston and squeeze a bit into the void as you ping the cover back, that should give a minimum of 10 yrs, if done each year or so

Funny, it’s usually the left hand side that catches all the roadside puddles.

I believe that our car has some history of racing because of the engine build, suspension upgrades, fuel cell and evidence that there had been a roll bar installed at some point, but I can not figure out what sanctioning body would allow this fuel fill set-up. The nearly collapsed elbow was barely on the filler neck, the reducer was an exhaust pipe fitting, and the (no longer) flex section was a radiator, not fuel, hose.

All better now thanks to new parts from TANKS Inc.

It's a proper manufactured race fuel cell but presumably fitted by a previous owner ... racers seem to fall into two clans ... the 'obsessively perfect' .. and the 'That'll do' .... guess the PO was the later ... things were a whole lot looser back in the day as regards inspections 🙂

Looking good now though 👍

Nothing overly exciting here, just fitted a pair of A-pillar sidescreen/windscreen rubbers.

Thanks! And, yes, the PO who did the work was definitely of the 'That'll do' persuasion. The song "From a Distance" comes to mind...
