A new rack.. where has he sourced that? Its boots that normally fail, of the bushes on the PAS RAM ...
However pleased to gear she will be done.. would it likely be ready for early September, which is last rally of the year, Chevrons at Little Horwood.. September 8th to 10th...??

I recently saw an example of some of Barry's work, a high pressure rubber to metal hydraulic hose repair then further addition of metal pipe.
Simple enough stuff, but very neatly done.
As mentioned above, have a deadline date and ensure the project remains on track.

Hi, I know what you mean about the rack but Barry said it needs a new rack and although they are rare, he can get one, so all I can do is take his advice. He is also sorting the other MOT issues, including a suspension leak and the parking break inefficiency. I am not sure if it will be ready for the meet but if it is, I will be there….Cheers

Yes, things seem to drift a lot, time wise. I think I will need to keep on top of that but I am just leased it is getting sorted.
