Re: Practical Performance Show 3rd May, Midlands

OK, got my helmet and racing shoes so not to get anything muddy.

Tried for the camera mount but my friend couldnt find it, i'll stop in the camera shop on the way home to see if they have one.

Looking really forward to the day!

Seat Belt Strangle

Hi All,

My seat belt is annoying me, its always twisted and doesnt pull back in because the twists dont go through the hole properly. Has anyone modified their seatbelt sucessfully so it doesnt always twist up and retract properly?

Went round the car a couple of time and its all good again. Luckly i had cleaned and polished ...

Re: bleading brakes

thats what i thought, i left the car overnight and no leaks, i pump the brake with engine off and i can feel the build up of pressure, no leaks there either.

i rechecked the 2 parts on the system i replaced, they seem ok, no leaks! might build a brick wall instead.

Re: bleading brakes

The brakes are from a morris marina, the fluid filler has 2 places that draw the fluid, one for front and one for rear. So i guess thats a split circuit?

how can i bleed them at the same time?
