The Classic Marque

Before sending a pair off to V&C for refurbing, I spent a few hours taking apart some of my other spare, worn, front lever arm dampers.

One I picked up very cheap, has very good damping but had a bent arm. Turned out to be quite easy to pull the arm off, and swap it with an arm from a very knackered damper.

Putting the good arm back on was just as easy. Pulled it on with the nut;...

Sweet!! Both spring chickens with years ahead! Safety Fast!

72 years young today and myself in 19 more days.

The fact is though that they dont need electric. If you want that there is that mickey mouse thing called Formula E.

Mostly teething issues really though, the cars that went well, went well.
If they were to reduce the amount of 'boost' delivered by the press to pass button it'd leave a bit more charge in the batteries. That feature is overdone really, they're getting heaps too much extra with the boost button compared to last years opening rear wing setup.

Sadly thats confined to the historics now.

Its interesting to note t...

Who are they ?

You'd very likely have made it. Mine recently died on a road trip, battery lasted 3 hours.

I have been a fan of F1 since the Mansel, Prost and Senna era and really look forward to the first race of the year. Sitting down with a glass of McCallan in front of the box signifies the start of the F1 season and Spring.

But last Sunday was a disapointment! These new 50% electric and 50% petrol cars must have been designed by Edd Milliband. Cars have to slow down to recharge their batt...

All done now using suggestions from Dave and Richard. "New" front shocks and blue super pro trunnion bushes. I removed the trunnions from the kingpins which made it a lot easier to install the bushes. I used an improvised G clamp with mole grip jaws as a spacer, around the trunnion ends to allow the trunnion bolt threads to emerge. I found the poly bushes don't just push in like rubber ones so ...
