neat bit of overtaking James....your car sounded well....

Interesting...I know it’s all somewhat subjective and so on...but just for my own knowledge..was the 265 meant to be at the crank or the the wheels...?..either way it’s one heck of a difference...

has anyone put their car onto a rolling road ?

I am fully aware that the 265 figure was an optimistic one back in the day....but am curious to know what sort of values have truly been achieved (in standard form that is)

all the best

neat.....

Thanks all..

Thanks guys for the speedy reply... all those dimensions tally with what I have and yes I can squeeze them in a vice..but I was assuming the design of the mount would rely on not just the shear through the 5/16 bolts but also benefit from a friction resistance When the mounts are squeezed together t...

Am I missing something or has anyone else had a problem with the SNG supplied units I have been speaking with SNG about a set of updated mounts I bought quite some time ago..but only recently needed to use as I was finally trying to install the IRS My original items were beyond salvation and sadly I...

Many thanks Angus for organising, wonderful to see so many lovely cars and a fabulous workshop..!...wish I had that kind of space to work on...

Gorgeous looking colour...

Remove the cheap black primer from Robey’s....”if it comes off with thinners it is clearly no good.”....so said my painter, who’s opinion I trust....

Building the frames around the engine is exactly what I plan to do...

The imperial sizes were strange, length that is...19/32” long, but a tidy 3/8” diameter

They most certainly were not the SNG length...!

Just to say the first time I went to NY around a dozen years ago I had the pleasure of finding this car in the museum....and what a joy that was....sadly my last visit 8 years ago didn’t allow a second viewing as the car was in storage....sure did look lovely first time round...

Love the style..... Ditto on the top shot...a similar view from the rear would be good. :bouncyyellow: The low down views numbers 1 and 4 are good...but I find the rear one just too low and focus too much on the underside of the floor... raising it so the bumpers are at eye level to me would be bett...

I used a product called Alubright from Race Glaze

Excellent turn out....good to see it so popular...I had to queue for 10 mins at 08.45, but no big deal....happy for Brooklands to be able to reap the success
Seem to recall 1500 cars was busy 2 years ago so that might mean more than 2,000 today..!

Found the keys...
