The Swepco 202 is a fully synthetic 75W90 Gear oil that will give better cold weather performance.

Not a bad way of doing it (spectator appeal aside). Or - for ultimate regularity - leave it to next year's roboracers:

Regarding item 2 - there is a bracket that slides between the front passengers seat bolts - no permanent holes to the. IMHO all Pcars should carry an extinguisher as a precaution.

Maybe not all, but certainly the air cooled ones. I've spent a lot of time looking at the condition of the rubber lines etc on Herman. It's sobering seeing dates like 1989 on fuel lines. The design has leaks possibly running down over hot exhaust pipes. If you don't have an extinguisher then you would likely have nothing more productive to do than film the inferno for the insurance company.

Anyone have a source for Halotron extinguishers locally? The HalGuard units look good, although have to be relatively large to meet local club day requirements. I haven't found a local supplier.

I have been through this. In the end Chris M brought one through for me from USA in his container. My conclusion on this whole subject was buy this item locally from the (limited and sketchy) sizes tyres available as its a consumable and cannot be easily imported (Hazmat) at any reasonable cost...

Anyone have a link for these?

John McM

Andy Culpin Race FX @ Hampton Downs 021 172 6345 can help with a locally made package or you can try something like this http://www.rennline.com/newssection.asp?dept=773

Please remember that MSNZ rules require two straps on the extinguisher and some of the older Rennline ones only had one.

A big week ahead. John will deliver the bumpers, ducktail and smaller parts to me this weekend. I collect the rear shocks tomorrow (new bump stops, oil and seals - shafts were ok) and at some stage the body will make its way back to Kohi. It's all becoming very real.

I'll keep those who expressed interest informed of the timetable but with only so many weekends and many of you racing/tracking on the 12th and/or at the Viaduct on the 19th I may just have to do it and post pics.

Slow Friday, so you get to see a few cars I like

Ha anyone used one of the Rennline ones? The look good but I am worried about it not interfering with anything under the seat and how easy they are to fit.

I like these mounts...

Has anyone glued their sunroof strip on? Any tips? Looks like a potentially messy job with no escape route once committed.

John McM

I'm going to see Herman tomorrow and I'll ask John then how it's done as the sunroof felt was removed for the respray.

John McM

Fine for street work but neither are MSNZ legal as they only have one release catch.

Macca

I went the Brey Krause route with their Universal adjustable stainless bar and platform (fits any car - $141 USD), then bought a billet machined quick release bracket I think from Patrick motorsports). The whole thing is a wrk of art and ne of the nicest parts f my cars interior. Heres an old photo of it 2011when I used a small bottle.
