The radiator box reverse rivnut lid mounting thing worked. :cheers:

I've got 14 embedded in the walls of the box and did a test fit with the lid.
All the holes lined up perfectly. Next step is to bond bushings in the lid.
I should have the Silicon gasket from Ken Smith at Delta Rubber this week.
They are also looking at the vibration dampers for the front end so hopefully I'll have a solution to the problem pretty soon.
Thanks Ken and Delta Rubber. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Testing out a satellite phone so I gave Mikey a call   :cheers:

I wanted to hear what SA hot rodders sounded like and if I could understand them when they talked! Well I am pleased to inform the group Mike is alive and well, he can be understood when talking, his wife sounds much better than he does!

We did not get much time as the satellite went behind the building and I lost contact. Still it was fun and great to put a voice with the picture! 

Now, back to text on the forum.

Hey Geoff, that was cool. Good to talk to you man.

Zina never quite understood and has already prepared the two spare rooms for you guys.

What time will you be here?. :-D :-D :-D

Sparky, she's better than me all round. I live like a king. I got lucky but she still won't marry me.

Road trip today.
Swung by Delta Rubber in Eastleigh, met Ken Smith who is a really nice man and picked up decals, the Silicon gasket for the radiator box and sew on patches for the crew uniforms.
After that we went to Aquajet Profiles to collect all the brackets they'd cut for the car. Thanks Preeshan, the work is 100%.

3 hours on the road in total but well worth it.
I'm blessed to have such good people on board. :cheers: :cheers:

Well, her judgment is a little bit suspect then  :evil:

I think she's right. :-D

I'm not responsible and get involved in too many crazy projects.

Bob, the last idiot hurt her big time so she's not looking for a repeat.
23 years together and she says it's only paper we don't need. :-D

She's behind me 100% so what more do I need?.
Rolls of Carbon on the dining room table, she covers them in plastic.

You know exactly what I'm on about.

Big day today Doug.

That GPS speedo got me thinking so I checked out a few websites locally.

I found the normal GPS stuff but then this one was a lot different.
I sent out 5 emails as usual and two came back. One is a system used on the Dakar Rally and the other is way more sophisticated.
In short my crew could be monitoring speed, temperatures, pressures etc from the pits. It's a tracking system but with a few extras.
The guys from the company are coming around to look at the car today.
