No permanent damage at least. The pedal feels great and there's no hint of slip now.

We've got the new bleed valve plumbed in (thanks Phil) in place of the radio (you can't hear it so it's just ballast) and put a new dump valve in as the old one was full of petrol and causing a misfire at low rev's.

It's made a bit of a difference. It's a good fast, but not scary, drive at 10psi. Unfortunately the £22 friction plate gives up at 18psi *hehe!*

The van's winter diet started a little early today. The first Ti bits have been fitted. They are paired and save 26g a side. Can anybody (who hasn't got a pair themselves) guess what they are? The winner gets a chocolate bar if they see me at Bingley.

I think it's time we made a start on getting this ready for another summer of abuse. *smiley*

So I've been and got the tyres put on the ronals.




4 matching wheels with matching tyres. That's novel for this shed *smiley*

Already got a set done Joe. Just gotta get them fitted.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Nope. It will get restored eventually, but me and John both have minis to finish before that happens.

For now we're concentrating on hitting the magic 13!

Joe - machining is a bit rich. Hack saw and a file did the job nicely *smiley*

We're gonna try. It's like putting makeup on a pig. (Or Subo)

No no no. They're ours now *happy*

But yes, they look great!

I've got a set of cans cut for a 40mm drop, they'll be going on soon.

The bad news is that once me and John have finished our minis, it will be getting some fresh metal and will be painted one colour!
