John

Do you have a picture of in the interior part of the doors? I think in this picture you must still have the metal door on the drivers side??


Mark A

 

It was when the pic was taken... it currently isn't

 

Are you racing this year Mark?
I'm back in the 911 for 2008.

 

I would love to Graham, but so much on, son not well and back into hospital next week. Want to move house to one with a large garage and money is very tight.

Car needs a couple of tweaks, engine out and a new door but it stored in a lockup which is not in a great part of town. I have a large amount of spares stored in it, so its a bit risky to work on.

I might move it to Tadcaster and work on it for a week in my parent's double garage.

I've been offered other drives but nothing very exciting, old Renaults & Pugs

Sorry to read about that, obviously best to get the family right first then you can get the toy(s) out to play.
Good luck with it all, a lot to sort out!

Graham.

 

Andy wearing his thermal bolisuit is he??

 

Andy only wears the Thermals Mapping Aberdonian cars 'cause youre to tight to turn the heating on

More Fettling........

 

Pictures of the inside of the GF doors, thank you

 

Just for you I went back out into the garage...

 

They look quite impressive to me, and assume the owner will fit door cards as usually the doors are with a simple flat edge and a hollow centre as an inner panel?

Have you weighed them John against a steel shell?

 

I have Graham, very pleased at the difference

 

Outstanding work/time/guts is all i have to say john

 

John you have mail

Mark

 

Mark, I have an issue connecting to network at work this weekend could you send to:

stevensonmotorsport (at) gmail.com

 

PM & email sent to above address

Mark

 

Mark, responded.

Have been sorting out some bits for a friends car today so not managed anything on mine, but did receive my new Fuel tank (and it's twin Sister) These were made to my own design by MJ Engineering (Scotland) based just north of Aberdeen.
Excellent work and could not have been any more helpfull if they tried.



The idea is to give me a tank with a long range, (current tank is 10 litres)that I can use in competition with Min. fuel with no surge and no need for a second pump/swirl pot arrangement (weight). The big tabs will be trimmed to suit as will the floor plate, which is offset to centre the tank in the spare wheel well, picking up on the 4 high points in there that normally support the spare tyre

30 litres when full and will be usable on the Sprints and hills at circa 5 litres(kg) with no surge.

 

John return PM.

Will you remove one tank on arrival at the circuit or are you planning some endurance racing

Mark

 

The idea is that tank will cover all senarios, but to be honest the wee one will be in the car most of the time

 

New Brake setup



Bits from Alyn at AS Performance, extremely helpfull as ever


Didn't have much time today due to parental considerations this is about all that was achieved






--john---

 

thats a damn fine looking set of brakes there m8

 

Had quite a fruitfull day today, Craig was busy on the body with lots more rubbing down, and adding some Gucci bits to the bonnet (Supplied by Zen). Fabricated the brackets and fitted 22B light covers.







I was getting stuff done too, untll the Argoshield ran out !!

 

thats looking smart mate

 

Looks great mate, where did you get the cage from?

 

Custom Cages Rob... recomendation... erm, spent more time fettling than fixing !!

 

Cool, got the same on order, I have heard they are a pain to work with but I won't be fitting it as I don't even know what a welder looks like so I'm not too fussed

 

The caged and full painted classic shell on Snet and 22B is/was a bargain!

 

It certainly was Graham, I specifically wanted to build a 2dr though, so no use to me

 

John how do you rate the gasless wire compared to the conventional wire/gas set up? Im tired of dragging a large gas cylinder round the garage all the time!!!

 

No Idea I'm afraid, I Drag a large gas cylinder around the garage all the time !!!

I think the gasless system is good, especially for small jobs, but it leaves a residue to clean off. I think the real thing is worth dragging a bottle around though.
