      Clutch all sorted now, I'll let Andy post the pics up of the final solution, but it seamed to work fine today.

      We had the local council close the road so we could do some testing
      (something like that anyway )

      Here's a pic just prior to another practice standing start



      If nothing else it cleaned the tyres up nicely (bloody Lydden paddock gravel )

            After the problems at Lydden, we decideced to completely change the clutchactutating system. The problem we had was the external slave cylinder was making the bellhousing flex, and allowing the cylinder to jump out. That lot has now been junked and this little baby installed.



            It only took 2 hours, from box out to box in and working

                    Pity that really as they would have had a close race I think.

                    Are you popping down Tom or are you sprinting with your Dad that day?
