roofless had the scott oiler on the first i believe, but he missed the fact the end had broken and it was just spraying oil either side of the chain *claps very slowly*

=p


actually, its working considerablly better without the final very thin guage silicone pipes that previously dangled just above the chain. when you wheeled / pushed it backwards they would get caught up and flick out of position. without them its working much better and creating far less mess.
we fitted the oiler after the first chain stretched. ( or so we thought ) the plate at the front of the subframe that carries the bearing block had actually broken away and moved towards the bulkhead by almost 10mm. the last couple of welds were just about holding. I kept that chain as its probably OK now the bearing block is back in the right place.

I seem to remember your bulkhead looking like a dirty protest in a thai jail - mines never been quite that bad. :) you're squirting too much. :thumbsup: claps even slower and makes a spaz face!!

you got the chain guard didnt you? phil was going to machine a hole in just the right place to feed your auto-oiler, whatever breed. My only concern is that with the guard in place you cant actually see how the chain is getting on.

alex did his own - nice neat job.

ive got a spare chain, but usually you can always limp a dodgy chain home, so i only take it to track days.

When u next in the area martin? could do with some lube in bulk!

Cheers,

Al

yer, i expect the slipper clutch has a torque rating that the car is far exceeding because of the weight, tis my thought. Cant think anything else would affect it...

Cheers, Al
