Very impressive Tony.  Be nice to see you mixing it with the big boys instead of trying to avoid tripping over the little one on Crabtree.  {-)

Hello.
Heres a little ? Some of you may know that Syd passed away last year. He had lots of OMRA stuff as he was a active member for a long time. Stevenage club has been given a electronic lap counter. 2 of the LCD screens don't work ( gone black) which still leaves 10 that do and of course the lap timer. A dose any body know any thing about this unit and if I can get a new LCD screen x2 .
I would like to they to get it back into shape if possible, but I don't want to spend a fortune. It was made in 1993.
ANY HELP OUT THERE??????

May be week after next. I am away all week (work Calls) so will have to be a bit flexible when i get home. Hopfully i will get my engine back on Sunday. If I will need to give it a good run after I rebuild it. At this rate I can see me taking the boat with me next week and do it in my lunch times or the hotel room.

Bill,

Damon went testing last Thursdayish and managed to break his engine.

Because there was no flexi in the engine/exhaust it snapped the bolts straight out of the crankcase, and took a large chunk with it.

I seem to remember that you had a similar problem with yours and were awaiting some new bits. A spacer with water cooling?

A word of advise, make sure there is flexibility between your engine and your exhaust, if not you will suffer similar damage. The mod we have discussed is to cut the header down and fit one of those stainless flexi pipes in between the header and the exhaust, solder/weld it all together. Plenty of movement!

We don't want yours going the same way?

He has just ordered a replacement to end from bluefishy, an expensive afternoon!

Call me if you want to discuss.

Hi fellas

Sorry not to have got back any quicker re the MMM day out. I have had a look at the calendar for 2008 for Kingsbury and it's pretty chokker.

The only Sunday they have available is the 29th [and I am away on my annual jollies so I'd miss that one :( ]  They do have some Saturdays available it seems.   
Can it be a Saturday or did you want to keep it to a Sunday?

Similarly, it if doesn't have to be June, then July 20th looks free at present.

Lemme know.
