what company was it that makes the steering kits?

That sounds like a bargain

I saw the ad and it looks very ropy from the poor pictures shared, glad I steered clear of buying an engine now though!

Ha that sounds awesome! I forgot to add the Datsun club UK on facebook have a stand area booked so would be nice to get all the Datsun's parked together.

Is anyone planning to attend this? I'm planning to head down on the Sunday. https://retroridesweekender.com/

mine is difficult to remove as well, it almost feels like its going to snap but mine bent ok. Don;t blame me if you snap yours though!

Looking good! When are you aiming to have it on the road for? Also does Andy sell the throttle linkage points or do you have yours that you want to sell :p

Mine were a tight fit and the pressure held them in place fine.

I used Timken which seemed to have the best reviews on quality however as Jon says unless they feel lose or "rough" there isnt a point changing for the sake of it!

I would recommend using Rockauto for the bearing, they are much cheaper in terms of price and shipping and will get here quickly. I have only changed the fronts but I reused my seals as they were still fine. If doing yourself you can remove with a set of punches and refit with these easily , no...

I got a similar set to these but find that they 'ride' up the footwell and end up twisted. Any ideas on how to fix them beyond the antislip backing?

Apparently it's the chemical they use to release it from the moulds? Either way I was scared after reading the reviews and then experiencing the glassy sensation. Either it wore off or I got used to it as they feel great these days!

I'm running TR1s, great grip in wet and dry however the first few hundred miles felt like driving on glass!

My car has 225 50 16 fitted with 0 offset. Arches are rolled in the back though. You can probably go with a minor negative offset without rolling if you are fitting coilovers though, Main limitation otherwise is hitting stock struts.

They are coming, I read an article a few months ago where they are developing an AI powered camera system which can calculate speed in real time video feed so in theory can catch us speeding across a much wider distance than the current fixed cameras....

Would it really cost that much though? What exactly would be needed to get a car to pass?

After reading the gov website it seems that a kit car is allowed a more basic test than a modified car so I'm not sure this flexibility would apply?

Would a RHD conversion be deemed a chassis modification and so mean any converted cars need Q plates too?

Minksport

I'm no expert but if it wasn't the most severe impact, as far as i know there is nothing that would switch the engine off in our cars?
