I have spent a little more time on my build and broke my first bit! I was tightening a bolt on a brake pad carrier and it snapped off. This mean't I had to go to AK Automotive (MX5 specialists) in Rowlands Gill for a new one. The fantastic thing is he tried to remove the broken bolt but it was well and truly stuck so he gave me a new one!! FREE. He also gave me 4 space saver wheels FREE of charge so that I can get it rolling! (on the understanding that I wont take them back to him as he has been trying to get rid of them for a while). All I need to do is get my mate to push me down the street and I will have a two seater go kart!!
