Like this thread! 
Rolled the wheels into a different position, I don't have the car - just the wheels. 
I should make a trip to WPVW and check there isn't water under the carpets and give the interior some fresh air.
Oh, and put some wheels on it.

Had the same problem on No.8......and what a bastard of a job with the trans. in place. The old one-piece flanges were OK, and didn't need that big
'O' ring......why did they 'improve' them?

You should be getting used to racing with no track temp Sides, Bathurst had zero track temp and you still raced hard and fast.

This morning adjusted the clutch (front firewall was getting in the way before clutch disengaging) and renewed both rear shocks. The shocks were still
good, but the rubber mounts were shot. All good now.

Now that the buggy's going I decided to have a look at the cab as to why it sounds like it's only running on 3 cylinders. Pulled off the leads from
the dist cap one by one and found it wasn't sparking on 2 cylinders! After pulling out the offending spark plugs (not so easy on a FI engine!)
cleaned them up and now appears to sound and run perfectly

Bled the brakes ....... again. Until the kids refused to assist with the 'pump, pump, hold' routine.
Got the timing light out to check it as was running a bit hot. Figure that something well in advance of 10 degrees BTDC may have had something to do
with it. All sorted now.
Pulled on the handbrake upon arrival back in the garage and it had a mini self-destruct. Release button flew out the end of the handle. Dismantled,
cleaned up, coat of paint and back together.
Don't mind the little issues, it's nice to feel like you accomplish something once in a while!!
