Caused myself a bit of an issue by over tightened a wheel bearing. The races managed to weld themselves to the stub axle and hub and I broke down on the way to work needing recovery!
Managed to source 2nd hand strut and hub from Evans and Sons Rally Spares 👍🏻
So she's back on the road with new bearings driving great
I extended the gearshifter and it's so much better to drive! In the SX the gearbox tunnel is much higher in relation to the driving position so the standard stick is short. I've always had to lean forwards slightly to put in 4th etc and I decided to sort it instead of just accepting it 😂 best decision ever - it's transformed the driving experience! Hoping it helps at the strip, too, as I have hit 5th instead of 3rd on a few occasions.
I also bought a new Motomec leather wheel to replace the very worn suede one. Pics incoming.
Onto the newest issue - I think I have a dodgy master cylinder. Pedal occasionally drops further than it should but I'm not losing any fluid. If I pump the pedal it firms up and returns to the normal height. Just need to decide if I'm going to replace the seals or the whole cylinder
