Great!

The whole reason for the meeting is to pass on the parts which I have for you two buggers, because the jet-setter is off to a home in the sun and wants them quickly - oh, then the time/location changes at the last minute to accomodate the old git who can't read his diary.......

....... and I have to leave home early and travel the furthest :roll: :( :(

(and I'll probably still get there first!) - see you Friday :D

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it

If you have a spare brake limiting valve to hand, could you stick it in the trunk do I can see how to refurbish, please.

Look, I just found this http://www.lotusm100.com/manuals/PropValveRebuild.pdf (why isn't it in the wiki, I wonder?)

Pete, It doesn't NEED to be in the Wiki - it's linked from the main LEC website (but may be easier to find from the Wiki) - however, Mark wrote it well before the Wiki existed, so many of the earlier 'how to' guides are elsewhere on the site.

John has just collected a variety of useful articles, together with the manuals, and published them on his website.

It is and I found it by searching for brake proportioning valve! :roll:

Obviously, instead of just asking why something wasn't in the Wiki, some went and typed it in in 2010..... :poke: :twisted:

So Pinky and Perky.... Is twinkling Kermit ready for action? Are you stuck on a barren rock in the Med? Have you won the last Pumpkin Master Trophy in Happy Acres? Are you spending all your time at weight watchers? Who wants a prototype temperature gauge lineariser? Or are you both waiting for next weeks Midlands highjack? :twisted:

TOSSPOT

Well, you never bothered to stick your name on the list (of one) for a trip to Yeovilton, so I'm off there tomorrow with Angie.....

...... then I'm planning to go to Brummyland on Thursday (in a green elan).

After that, there is nowt planned until Brands Hatch - except the usual game-playing on Faecesbook and trying to sort out all the 2-minute jobs on the car which seem to take a day each.

Todays 2 minute job is playing the "is it the fuse, hazard switch or flasher relay - or something completely different" game to get the indicators working - bearing in mind that I have all new bits everywhere (Elise rear lights, new side repeaters, LED front units, flasher unit to suit LEDs, different indicator stalk (for CC), and have been fiddling behind the dash) - it could be absolutely anything!!!!
