I knew you'd mention that, it's the prototype RSR Andy built on the 72S, so it would be there :wink:

The racing RSR's have retainers all round.

RSR's all have 'sticks' to hold the lid open........ though mechanics tend to call them props :roll:

A thingymejig.

Everything to me in an engine bay is a thingymejig, so it's bound to be there.

Probably next to the whatyoumecallit.

I should hope so as you've got one in your engine bay as well! Hope the weekend went well and have a good flight back.
cheers, Mike.

Is it the flexible injector lines ?

I know a lot of 2.8RSR's have them these days but I've got a feeling that they didn't appear on RSR's until the 3.0RSR went to slide-valve injection later in '74 ...
