Happy New Year All Just a quick note that may be useful for some of you. You may all already know this, but I have noticed that the brake lines in the engine...
Mark, thanks for the road test, just watched it a few times !! A pretty good write up all round. Funny, I seem to remember Tiff doing a road test on a bright...
Nick, I would also look at why your engine is rocking that much, mine barely moves! With the tie bar at the front and all mounting's tight, including the ...

Thanks Keith - I will have a look at the mountsings, but it all seems pretty tight Nick Keith Crocker <keithcrocker@...> wrote: Nick, I would also...
Mark, Yes, mine is mounted on two (as I remember) bushes and I'm car no. 016. They're the same Triumph type as are used on the rear wishbones. Why you have a...

John Getting the diff out is one of my least favourite jobs. Detatch the drive shafts and the prop shaft. Remove the handbrake cables from the bracket over...
Hi All, Just as I have always been saying; the diff needs to move ( even if it is only a millimeter on a bush ) and should never be solid mounting. Another...
Many thanks for that. What about the front mountings on the diff, or does the "standard" set-up tend to be OK once the rear is sorted as suggested? Any chance...
Hi John, I removed the front mounting ! What was the point of it, it would either break again or even if I left it in situ, the clunking of the diff movement...

John, I also require this info. I need to replace my seatbelts for MOT and getting at the inertia real is a problem. I have been thinking of cutting two holes ...

John & Dave Tried sending this with a picture attached. It exceeded the allowable message size and so bounced. Here's the text. I'll have to find a way of ...
With the amount of useful photos being posted (some visible,some not) do we think it would be a good idea to have a seperate folder within the photos section...
Thanks Graham - it's spanners at dawn on Saturday now, as the diff is nestling loose between the chassis rails until I get the rear off...... John ... From:...
1) Does anyone have any more info re the specification and origin of the diff, other than it may have come from a diesel Sierra, has a 3.14 ratio and an LSD? I...
John Most G33s have the 7.5" Sierra Cosworth viscous type LSD. I have a 7" Sierra 4x4 viscous LSD in mine. I have heard of several 'standard' ratios in the...
Can anyone tell me what the nominal castor angle should be up front? This may be another episode in the roll centres saga but I don't think so. Let me ...
I wonder how they achieved adding this ackerman angle as it involves changing the vertical pivot angle (like toe in or out) of one front wheel in relation to...
Thanks Graham & Mark. I have spoken to Neil Cox and he said that there was very little he could do regarding Ackerman. He simply moved the pivot points out by...
glenn have you ever checked the corner weights? and when I fitted the Toyo track day tyres this also transformed the handling with a much better wear rate ...
Thanks Nigel. The age of the tyres, especially the fronts, must be a factor. I must get on and change to Toyo and go for a full geometry check but first I need...
Very true.............but I have a solution. Build yourself a bigger engine, up the power output by 40 per cent and then make it..............quieter ?? How...
Quite a few of you seem to be running tubular exhaust manifolds in place of the cast units. Does anyone have any recommendations or "off the shelf" options...
