Ok thanks. I might pull a spare apart to see what’s what

New paddle clutch plate seems to have done the trick. After a 50 ish gentle miles to allow everything to bed in, she’s performing well. Managed 0-60 in 8s without any drama. The brakes are good, but the back is a tad quick to lock up. Not daft braking, just pressing the pedal progressively harder an...

Hi Brian,

Exhaust headers look great.

How did you get on with the steering rack refurb. I have three racks, all with an amount of play. So wanting to do summit with one of them at least.

Its 35mm one side at the back 20 the other !

Good point re spacers. But I still need longer studs. Do you know the spec ?

I need to bring one wheel back under the arch so converting from pcd adaptor back to oem stud pattern.

Hi all. I'm after some longer studs for the 5a front / rear hubs. What 'spec' are the original studs please (I know nothing about these so don't know what to ask for) . I want to introduce spacers to align the new wheels & tyres with the body. At the moment, due to Reliant engineering, no two are th...

Must admit I thought it was 6 but it was all verbal, then this turned up. Is there a significant difference between 6 and 4 paddles.

Just got dressed to go down the garage then changed my mind. Think I’ll read a book.its dark and cold down there, warm and cosy in here.

Apols inappropriate comment, take care mate.

Ours was sprung, im hoping Mikey has a better experience.

Ah well, I drive like an excited idiot anyway so the car lurching around whilst pootling around in Falmouth isn’t going to be new to anyone

It must still be partially engaged with your foot completely off the peal then? Thought long and hard about this Jim, and took measurements but I’ve got the other scenario. The clutch is only engaging on full depress so it’s disengaging fully, I hope. Hence ordered the 6paddle I don't follow - the ...

Hi James, so much for trying to get the car to Richard !

Fingers crossed. Well see how this works

I reassembled clutch and gearbox but clutch still slipping so I’ve ordered a 6paddle clutch. Due to arrive tomorrow. Went for a 20mile blast yesterday and even with the iffy clutch was still epic. No passenger door,no passenger seat, no bonnet, no gbox tunnel so sound from exhaust and induction was ...

I’ve talked at length with precision clutches in zummerset. We think the current setup isn’t man enough. Last night I went out and had a 20 mile blast. If I try to use full acceleration she slips. If I slightly fettle the acceleration, she’s fine. Still accelerates like a lunatic (well sounds like i...
