I have always used Speedy Cables and have never been disappointed. However, people speak very highly of Richfield Speedograph who may well be a bit less expensive. Here's a link. I hope it helps and that you get suited .http://www.speedograph-richfield.com/html/inst_repairs.html

Aldridge have a huge stock of OE covers. Worth trying them.

Nice job Wayne.

Aiden, that's a modern capless bulb; easily obtainable.

You are really welcome. Best of luck with the works. rgds John

This is the type of brake pipe bender that I have. It is easy to use and does a good job. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brake-Pipe-Bender-Bending-AT146/dp/B00I5J1UMA The photo was taken before the engine was commissioned. I've been using a pair of Ramair foam filter socks on the Webers but just recently I have fabricated an aluminium air box that uses an remote filter sucking in cold air. r.

I always carefully straighten the pipe first and use a mini tube bender. which gives nice radius and prevents flattening of the pipe in the bend. Your work really is on show so apart from the safety aspect it is well worth taking time to get it as good as you possibly can. I made a little forming tool to fabricate the little aluminium clips.

Here are a few photos showing how I have plumbed in the brake lines. Mine is Rotoflex so yours will be a little different at the rear. I hope these might be of some help. Pleas note that I did NOT use the solid rack mounts.

What would we do without your input Pete? We are so lucky that you are so willing to delve in to your knowledge base and share it with us.. Thank you for your continuing help. regards John

A great tour Henry and Ella. Thank you for sharing it. I do hope the last leg of your journey home went well and was trouble free. Cheers John

Do we have the makings of a Fletcher tour here Neil? Far be it for me to invite myself along but I would look at it very favourably if asked to join you

I'm really enjoying your blog Henry and you are quite right, the scenery is mind blowing. Best of all you are there and enjoying it with the GT6. Proof if any were needed that the car really is a Gran Turismo. Keep the photos and reports coming John

I certainly second Roger's encouragement Richard to take your car abroad., particularly to France. They really love our cars. and wherever you park someone will come up and talk to you..Sue and I organised a tour of Brittany this May for six of our friends and it was excellent; really enjoyable. I did mention it in another thread which you can find here. http://forum.tssc.org.uk/index.php?/topic/2552-improve-the-driving-experience/ If you need any more information or if i can help you in any way with the planning, please drop me a PM. rgds John

Sounds like a basis of a good plan there Roger. We have never been to Andorra but we did take the GT6 down through France, into Spain and back to Plymouth from Santander. I was interested to see that you visited Fuente De in the Europa National Park. On a separate trip with the GT6, we stayed at the hotel next to the cable car and did take the terrifying ride up to the top. We were lucky and the views were stunning. We walked a long way to a hotel for lunch but found it shut for the Winter which was a bit of a downer. I sounds like the fuel injection is working well so another triumph!

Well done Roger. You can be justifiably proud of your achievement and not letting the breakdown ruin your holiday. I guess few would have coped as well as you did. So where next time?

Well, I've made a start and in an effort to reduce the Weber bark I've done a bit of metal shaping and made an airbox. I'll have to wait until the ducting and filter are here before being able to test how effective it is.
