[Edited on 24/7/03 by James]
yes, but more importantly than bragging about the length of your lunch break, did you manage to sort the pedals out?
Ned.

well its raining in heidleberg
Those Heidelburgers probably deserve it.
Has anyone who goes to Newlands got a piece of alloy plate suitable for making a carb to manifold adaptor?
needs to be 5.25" square X 5/8" thick.
Or has someone got a milling machine at home and can make me one to pattern?
you could try one of their burgers,their about the texture of ally plate
OK So i am the dummy who has to ask what lots want to know where is it and what will there be there????and even more importantly who will be there
Duh
dummy
Newlands Corner is just outside Guildford surrey,its a well known haunt down here for car and bike meets.
It is though more of the classic bikes so its a better meeting place than Box Hill (IMO) where the summer brings nout but crutch rockets YAWN YAWN.
The view at Newlands is also 2nd to none.(IMO)
its at newlands corner near guilford,a pituresque hill with a neo 60.s burger bar selling neo burgers and tea in poly cups,lots of leather clad ladies
and us lot
thats me,bob,james,hicost,surrey dave,ned,merlin,chrisw,donut,gas gas gas,deckman plus any one else that turns up
Leather clad ladies I was up for it Neo classic burgers I'm on my way but surrey is a long way from Shropshire and I was so temted still see what
comes up
Thanx
Stats
John you forgot Steve M,but then again it always rains when he turns up.
Oh and JB,everyones favourite pensioner
Newlands in July, you can't see my car or JB's

I was just glad to get there at all, seeing as it was a 'family day'. Had to leave once the wife's eyes started glaising over with too
much talk of diffs and bell housings!
Cheers Merlin (and ChrisW) for my axle brackets, and James for the steering wheel loan.
if people brought their other halvs they could talk about girlie things and leave us in peace to talk about mens things ie girlies,diffs n axles
Chris ,
i wasn't actually after anything ,we where having a discussion about weight saving and Ned started to offer me an alloy bellhousing, but suddenly
with a wink and a nod it was gone!!:-), anyhow i'm far too lazy to remove the engine just for the fun of it...........
mind you your garage intrigues me it seems to be full of a lot of Ford spares!!!!!!!!
Nice to see you all again, been a while for me. Now i have my house, and a reasonable sized garage, i shall be getting my kit, or a rolling version
over the next few months, so anyone see a suitable rolling one at a Dazza price(thats next to nothing to the untrained of you) then let me know....
see you all sept hopefully.
Dazza
