busy day today

fitted na8 brakes all round with new fluid
fitted new bush on gear box and new oil, box feels better then the nc now
did a engine oil and filter change
checked diff oil and is fine

sorry no photos not much to take photos of

brakes where bad no pad left on the back and front right full of oil as front shock is stuffed and leaking oil
stops really well now

[rwf]

picked up and fitted my roll bar today and now have the six point harness all fitted

Looking good mate. If I'd known you were doing that today I would have offered to come and give you a hand with it - I've done a few roll bar installs now

bugger i wish i had of know that you were not working today
not the easiest thing to install by your self
roof gets in the way and lifting the bar in and out and in and out with one arm and get the roof out of the way with other is always fun

Yep, know exactly what you mean! I'm on holidays for 4 weeks, starting today

I just noticed your stock seat belt... Take the bottom mount near the sill off, and feed it through the right hand hole where the harness shoulder strap goes, and then down through the hole in the side of the seat where the harness goes, then bolt it back into place. Then, take the seat belt buckle off the transmission tunnel, remove the bolt and associated paraphernalia and pull the plastic shroud off the belt - it's held by a piece of stitching and just breaks off when you pull it hard enough. You've then got a flexible seat belt buckle which you can feed through the side hole of the seat, so that the belt goes across your waist instead of up over the sides of the seat, which is a much better and safer way of doing things.

going to leave it like this for now as i plan to only drive to and from track and use harness rest of the time

[rwf]

got out the polish today and what a difference it made paint looks great for what it is any way
