I think the crossplies are cheaper than the radials?
Will find out tomorrow.

And Mr Turner's engine still going well!jwhillracer wrote:Yes, engine and gearbox out yesterday, down to Exeter, and by 7.30pm the culprit was found, the roller bearing on the end of the 1st/2nd gear cluster, which had been perfectly quiet before the last re-assembly.911hillclimber wrote:Hope you fix that 'box in time Jonathan.
Thankfully nothing too difficult, should be up and running in plenty of time for Harewood.

Yes, I think crossplies are cheaper. £820 for a set of FF2000 ones. Smaller though

BMTR on the case right now. Availability of tyres and people bit of an issue, lots going on around the UK and a hillclimb championship in Ireland too this weekend.
Hope to get them before Shelsley Walsh weekend after next.

Looks good, we are very lucky that BMTR come to our meetings, so makes new tyres and any changes easy at the circuit.911hillclimber wrote:BMTR on the case right now.

Especially when you are trying out a new set of used mags, wondering whether prev owner sold them for a reason. Then you try them with new tyres to find, yes, the PO did sell them for a reason, three round and true and one less so!
There is a competitive competitor who turns his race tyres after every race and quali to get the most even wear out of them. BMTR are very helpful in that case!

Re: 8000 rpm/300 bhp 3.2 rebuild
At the start of the thread you were going to do a full run down on the cost for this conversion, have you managed to do that? Would be interesting to see what the final cost actually was, and how that compared to what you thought it might have been?

Dangerous route to go down! Since you have got this far, paid for it all, and it all works well, go out, enjoy it and forget about all that's gone before!Nine One One wrote:At the start of the thread you were going to do a full run down on the cost for this conversion, have you managed to do that?

I think our last set of crossply slicks were about £1500-1600 a set. I can't say for certain because I've forgotten the price already!!!gridgway wrote:Yes, I think crossplies are cheaper. £820 for a set of FF2000 ones. Smaller though

Re: 8000 rpm/300 bhp 3.2 rebuild
Great to hear you're please with the engine. We were out on Sunday but I watched your Saturday run on YouTube and tried to see Sunday's but I couldn't find it. I'm not sure it was shown - do you know what time you went up?

Re: 8000 rpm/300 bhp 3.2 rebuild
Costs? Too scared to do that yet...
Times on Practice Saturday were slow as I was treading carefully.
Sunday was better, about 46.5 and 46.0 something I think. PB is 45.33.
TVR was all over the place but will be my Nemesis.
I beat him on first run by miles, he beat me by 3 hundredths on second run.
Take the EVO Mini out of the equation (in another Championship) and I won the first and second in the second, so we have equal Championship points.

You've added more than £10k to the value.
Do you remember what time of day your Sunday runs were? Might try and have a nother look on YouTube.
