Noel has a habit of dropping me right in it!

All I said was that you were quite "keen" with the old right foot! (and why not ) I also like to give people a bit of a shock but I'm a crap passenger....very hypocritical really!

I'm glad that you think that the mods were worth the effort as I was a bit worried when you left my gaff incase you could not notice any improvement.

Like I said they are not quite in the same league as the bumpsteer mod but do make a difference so it all adds up!

By the way sorry for not replying to your emails with all your inventions, my email went bonkers at work and half the stuff got trashed! Anyway all the stuff that you have made looked really good.

Cheers,

Pete

Tackling the bumpsteer mod at the weekend, mod already done the mod to the posts, just need to lower the rack and then do your mod to the chassis upright.

Pete has kindly volunteered to help and do the tracking after You must meet up with us sometime for a blat?


As Pete says, the bumpsteer mod is the most noticeable.

I think the LSD was a very good investment.

Yes, we must meet up for a blast soon.

Good luck with your mods.

Dave.

Yeah......pots and kettles spring to mind, the only person who can put the wind up me in a Cobra and I'm not even in it with him, I'm just trying to keep up with him and his "little" Rover engine

I'll take the complement and ignore the wind up bit! Cheers Noel!

Anyway, back to the subject of the post!

Dave,

I suspect that you have basically suffered the normal Pilgrim issue of them making the diff bracket out of dried Spaghetti!

Pete

Here is the picture of David's broken prop! Nicely twisted

It was a nice day out there for breaking down

Cheers, Richard

That's amazing

Would be interesting to find out where that prop came from and what material it is was made from.

Didn't another kit manufacturer have a few shortened jag wishbones made from the wrong material that also twisted?
