Hello but I'm not building a Haynes roadster, quite

[Davey]

Been out today to Malvern to collect my suspension units, they're Koni dampers although sadly non adjustable but for £74 with springs what can you expect . They'll do as an intermediate step to further the rolling chassis. I must have met every doddering, dribbly eyed, dickhead with a licence today. What annoys me most is not the fact that they only do 45 MPH in a 60MPH limit but that they still do 45MPH in 30MPH limits!

I spent a couple of hours at the workshop afterwards on the inlet fanimold, its coming on.........slowly, but its proving to be a tricky job as the tubes have to go from round (for the itbs) to oval where they meet the cylinder head flange and they need to be cut at compound angles...........oh what fun . I will post some photos once there's something to really show.

Sound's like you have a had a good day out .... What are those Sunday drivers doing out on a Monday, no excuse, they could have collected thier pensions on Friday !!

Pitty really, Malvern is quite a nice place.

Glad to hear at least one of us has managed to get some time in the workshop
My annual garden clean up is taking a lot longer than expected

I look forward to seeing some pictures of your progress Davey.

Cheers guys, could be a week or two before any worthwhile pictures, All I've done so far on the fanimold is rough out the shape of and bore the ports through the mating flange plates and start to form the transfer tubes, got one somewhere near so far. Oh yes I've machined up the top tubes to take the itbs and the top mounting plate. It'll either be a work of art or a pile of scrap!

Wahey, my seats arrived this morning and they fit into the chassis perfectly and they're really comfy too! Hopefully my new gearbox will arrive either tomorrow or Thursday but I'll have to leave it till Saturday afternoon/Sunday to fit it as we've got too much work on at the moment to do it during the week.

Davey,

‘Too much work’ must be a good thing, surely that means more pennies?

I think I must have sat in those seats for about two hours now, really comfy. I had to put them in the loft so I didn’t wear them out!

Cheers Ginge
