Good day at Debden racing, knocked 10 seconds off my practise time and was only 5 seconds slower than the winner of the class. apart from snapping a fan belt and developing a grumpy sounding alternator, its been a good day :)

Took me 3hrs to do a master and slave today. Its not a nice job at all. I ended up up getting a wrecking bar on the master just to get to the rear nut!!

Get a double skin, they're a lot more rigid and will hold their shape a lot better. Mine keeps flexing and not sealing. I'm not wanting to put pins on it or any external locking mechanism. Ah well, was only a tenner.
