Failed the sodding MOT!! Hit a speed ramp on the way to the test, rear axle compressed and squashed brake pipe flat!! bad routing on my part I 'spose but still a pain in the arse. Also, as I took it to work to test (50 mile round trip) I thought I would use it as a 'shake down'. Turned out to be a 'shake to bits!!'. Prop shaft in serious need of a balance - shook the retaining bolts from the gear stick! - Ah well, at least I'm nearly there! Brake pipe replaced (and re-routed!!) and prop being balanced Monday. Watch this space....
