Making full use of Graham’s workshop while he’s away on holiday. As somebody who has no proper garage, what a delight it is to have space to work on my car!

Hi James, Hi JohnM
It's Total-Retro at the Westmoreland Show Ground on the 8th May if your around.
Could be worth a visit if any DDK'ers fancy a trip out!
All the best

Great faith in that ‘71 on the ramp not to dribble oil everywhere on the one underneath

Lots of bits for my 356 arrived this week.
New solenoid from Germany. The solenoid in the new starter got stuck. I've started with 12v battery but now I've fitted a new solenoid to the old starter. I added a bit of grease and I'm going to out back in.
Gaskets for between the manifold and Weber to stop the carbs heating up. Came from Poland This made a massive difference in my 914 to warm restarts.
Fred Winterburn 6v CD system from Canada. Fred has been a pleasure to deal with.
They will be added in the order above

First day of the new season at Anglesey. New engine (2.7), and about 50kg weight loss so a bit different to last year. So far found 3 seconds against my prev PB and 4th overall in the whole event, so going rather well!
It makes the hours and hours of work doing the conversion worthwhile

3 seconds a lap is very significant. Congratulations

Thanks Neil. The improvement is a bit flattered by it being the two lap (well 1&3/4s) of the National circuit. We are doing a single lap of the International tomorrow, but it looks like a certainty of a wet day.
Still, I am nearly 5 seconds quicker than I ever achieved in the 914/6, which on paper at least was a faster car
