Graham, there are 2 places in West Kingsdown - Glen Searle or HT Racing - both are normally very helpful

Barry, Graham did say he needed it done ASAP.

Eric Falce · 24 Sep 2006, 07:27 (Ref:1717418)

Graham, try Ginger Payne, he has recently moved to Borough Green,Arron should have his number if not will get it for you tomorrow

What ever happened to Tim Swadkin? I remember him being the dogs dangly bits at one time...

You could always take a ride up into Hertfordshire and see Mr Blydenstein...
Still very very good.

Graham your cheque for lydden wasn't cashed as you withdrew before I banked it so there is no refund owed, sorry!

I have not seen or heard of Tim for ages (he used to work from my place in Orpington) in the days of BRSCC Modified Saloons / Thunder Saloons. I know he got deeply involved in Karts and I believe he works sometimes at a place through the tunnel in or near Ilford - the guys name is Greenhall or Greenhaulgh or somethink like that. It was the shop that Dave Smith had when he was doing TWINKS and BDA's - Glen Searle/AAron should have the number.

Tim Wilkinson · 25 Sep 2006, 20:20 (Ref:1719687)

Steve Greenald in Rainham? (Track and Road, I think it's called)

R59 · 26 Sep 2006, 05:47 (Ref:1719950)

That's Steve Greenald formerly of the Lotus Service Centre!

He set up the DTA on my aged Nova.

Blimey, it's like going through an archive!! Nostalgia ain't what it used to be!

I was at steves last night. Bloody genius in my book

Rod Birley · 26 Sep 2006, 08:18 (Ref:1720041)

Last I heard, Tim Swadkin was working for Connaught engines.

Flat Out Farr · 26 Sep 2006, 09:12 (Ref:1720100)

Tim Swadkin is working with Phil Price at Connaught Engines in Sittingbourne.

Or ask Roger, his Glen engine was a let down (aledgly).....bang

Flat Out Farr · 27 Sep 2006, 13:01 (Ref:1721207)

Tim is very good; he still does a few engines for people. give him a ring at Phil's.

As the saying goes,those who can do,those who can't,teach!
Not very pleased with my engine from Glen.

retro_msport · 28 Sep 2006, 15:00 (Ref:1722135)

If you need it quick, Jason Langan may be able to help.. Greenalds dyno'ed a fair few of his engines and says hes very good..

Jason Langan Hellier Performance Ltd 01992 899228

grichie87 · 1 Oct 2006, 10:35 (Ref:1724285)

Rod Birley · 1 Oct 2006, 11:37 (Ref:1724323)

Or try Dave Singleton (Boss Racing) in Charlton (just off Anchor and Hope Lane). He does a very quick Vauxhall engine for Carl Boardsley (World hot rod champion).

Bloody hell Rod, isnt there anyone you don't know,was down at Dave's a few months ago,very highly recomended.

Flat Out Farr · 5 Oct 2006, 08:35 (Ref:1728497)

Ah; that's where he went. He used to work out of a railway arch in Bexley, if my decrepid memory serves me well. I thought Pastie man had a phone full of the right names, but Rod is obviously miles ahead in the contacts game!

How about a database for people to use, as we are all scattered across the Southern part of the UK. Any in agreement?
