New wiring and that horrible bramcote place
« on: January 01, 2006, 10:23:42 »
Well, my christmas present off my brother was in two parts, so I thought I should share them really..

firstly he arranged for my timing belt to be replaced, the motor seems to be running a lot better since then so it's heartily recomended :)  I'll try to aquire the name of the garage when I'm next in communication.   However, since my bottom pulley and tensioner were close to falling off and having their bearings seized I shall once again utter the mud-club mantra "we're not going to bramcote again" :D

The second part of the present was ...

I got the front end of the motor rewired by Simtec (who make wiring looms for the Bowler amongst other things)  principly this was to add a switch to turn the aircon fans on (so I don't have to bother with the viscous) and to add a better loom to the headlights / spotlights (one with relays in)

Now, given the reason for doing so was so that I could fit uprated lamps to the motor, I'm not sure it's worth bothering...  It would seem that replacing the damp spagetti with actual wire has a significant impact on the light output..  am suitably impressed and can actually see where I'm driving now :)

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

I don't know... You run an event and then get all manor of things said about the consistancy of the mud. :roll:

The site is currently being re-developed.....and being made bigger so I hear.

I'll be laying something on when it's open again.

Maybe something for the locals this time, So they stand a chance of getting home before overheating. :twisted:

The addition of a jet wash, or at least the location of the nearest jet wash equipped garage would be very handy  :wink:

I'd probably come again...

Some good cheap petrol driven pressure washes now available on the market, could club together with the next outing there and invest in one, include it in the price?
