Newbie
Hello all,
New on the scene, a friend and I purchased a Locost 7 last week after many months of trawling the internet!
We currently have a 1.3 XFlow engine with Weber carbs and Escort running gear.
Will get some pictures up later, Clutch cable snapped 3 days after getting her, so waiting for a replacement and spare to arrive at the moment! along
with a spare Fan Belt - just in case!
What spares do you keep in your car too?
I'm in South Manchester, If anyone is local with a Locost or similar it'd be great to meet up! another friend is currently half way
through rebuilding a Westfield Narrow body as well.

Hi Ben welcome,
Loads of knowledgable folk on here. Helped me build my car!!
I don't carry any spares with me just my recovery card! If it breaks I'll get it recovered.

When I had my mk1 fiesta as a daily driver (very similar engine) I used to keep an alternator belt, set of points and a rotor arm - the rest of the
tool kit was just the minimum amount of spanners / screwdrivers, a small cheap 1/4" drive socket set along with insulating tape, duck tape and
cable ties
I only had 2 minor breakdowns with that car (not bad for a 24 year old daily driver  ) - and none of my tools helped me at all 
so a recovery card is really all you need (but thinks like points and rotor arms are probably a good idea as the AA/RAC van is not likely to keep
them these days )

Already got, and used when the cable snapped! I thought theyd carry a clutch cable repair kit, but nope!
