May 2003 - Part 4
Peters Lands End
I finally got the Dellow going, but as usual work got in the way & car
preparation was left to "last minute motors". On the Good Friday morning I had
the petrol tank out to solder the drain plug back in. Anyway, that's my excuse
for not testing the car fully loaded.
Jim & I set off at 4.30 for Popham and got to Reading before we realized that
the burning rubber on right hand bends was ours. The new exhaust was great
unladen, but too big for the wheel arch with a full crew, tools and tank of
petrol & was cutting a groove in the tyre. Nothing for it but to
screw the dampers up & go home. Spent all day on Saturday modifying the new
exhaust to side exit in front of the wheel.
Regards
Peter
