Glad to see this mod is catching on properly now, how are the boxes working out on the road? Cheers, Rob

Hello Dave! I think the advantage of most of the parts you had of me was that they never got installed on my shed and thus cursed ;) How is your motor these days? I'm a bit out of date with things! Cheers, Rob

Blimey, blast from the past, bit like me ;) Engine came apart, that was easy! PMac had the head as he had a mate who liked to play with such things. The rest went to the guy who bought the 2.8 engines I had lounging about the place! So you got the old rust buckets doors Maxim? Probably one...

I think they're a good idea as long as the fit is good, no point in sticking something on that will actively trap dirt! I'm trying to remember the size of the rod end on the TTT units, I seem to recall it was pretty big, 3/4" maybe. You can get big boots here...

Bit more info here: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=135901 Shame they didn't take the crossmember off when spraying the engine bay, you have to assume that there's a couple of nice original (read rusty) areas on the frame rails where the crossmember bolts on. Still it looks...

Dunno if Wyn has, but I do ;) I do know that it requires slight machining to fit the World Class T5 gearbox as the front bearing retainer is a slightly larger diameter, but any machine shop would be able to do that for very few beer tokens! Cheers, Rob

OK, not everyone may be familiar with the t'internet phenomenon of lolcats, but I thought this one was quite appropriate! Cheers, Rob

Nice Moggy, verrrry nice! Cheers, Rob

Demolition?!!! I trust Laurence has moved to new premises?!! Cheers, Rob

Eeee lad! Won't be long before we get posts like "Suspension recommendations: I'm finding my car's a bit harsh these days, where can I get springs made of blancmange?", and "Sound innsulation: Best source please?" ;) Happy b'day anyway mate, hope you got some nice pressies! Cheers, Rob

No more lifting engine blocks by hand for you then!! Hope the op goes well and you're soon back on your feet. Cheers, Rob

Home already! Gawd I'm a bit knackered but the journey there and back was a breeze, just over an hour each way, thanks for the help guys! And yes the 505 is quite a fun stretch, although the last fairly sharp (for a dual carriage way) bend which goes up hill in to Luton was a bit worrying when...

Perhaps our very own Nottinghamshire based correspondent has come across this one in his travels? Pete, you out there?!! Cheers, Rob

Yup, decision made, A1-A602-A505-LA, will hit the road at 6am after downing a few brews and hopefully be there by 7:45-8:00. Booked the car park and done the online check-in so should just be a matter of staggering off the parking bus in to terminal and over to the departure lounge. Then...

Ta chaps, A1 route it is, guess I'd still better get my bum out of bed a bit earlier than nature intends though :( Cheers, Rob
