yes & yes... i was there abt 10 days ago for an afternoon in a Caterham. Spent a few laps chasing Paul Rivett... winner of the Clio race there last Sunday... until I lost sight of him! Will be interesting see a full grid of FRens charging into the first hairpin.
How about you? |

raced at rockingham about 5 times i think, not been there since 2004 though & not round this version of the track either with the different sequence of corners leading back onto the oval. I quite like the place, first time i won a car race was at rockingham |

So another Reon driver pulls out?
As for the Rockingham layout for this wekend, we lose the final right hander, which must have been quite a challenge, plus trade a fussy hairpin for a messy chicane and miss out the turn 1 chicane in favour of staying 'high, wide & handsome' on the oval. We can all pretend to be Indycar drivers for a weekend well, about 15 secs a lap! |

Morning All,
Stupid question - is there a technique for splitting the Madin rims fitted to club class cars ? I have one that doesn't want to budge and am reluctant to use a lot of force. Thanks. |

I have a new great question! I am missing the '1st gear lock screw' at the rear of the gearbox. I can tell it is a 3/8" rather fine thread but which one exactly? UNF or BSF?

That may be true for the bolts holding the box together, but I found the one I mean to be a 3/8 UNF bolt. It's part no 19 on the exploded view / parts list. Maybe I have a pre-victorian LD 200 or something.

I stand corrected, a 3/8" UNC bolt works, so it's either that or a 3/8" BSW.

No Problem,
I just don't know how long they are so I just want to get some spares. On another note do use a particular rod end supplier? I know they don't really have them in the Tatuus but the teflon liner has come out of one of them. |

After asking so many questions I think I may be able to give some useful information in return, giving and taking, so to speak! I took the leaking radiator out of my 97 tatuus to a local parts dealer and they found a VW Passat III radiator which fit beautifully, cost me € 59,50. If I am the last to know I apologize for yet another useless post...

Ian,
Do you normally get you Tripode inner CV joints and housings from race parts. Nowhere seems to list 25 spline? |
