Thanks for the offer.

I thought that I needed a new hub carrier after the outer CV spline sheared off just behind the hub nut at KH and the wheel adopted am angle of 45 degs, but they are not made anymore for my '96 S1, and I could not source a used one. However we can refit it, so it just needs a new outer CV joint, wheel bearing, and the four stud hub flange. However I have a Honda conversion, and you would not believe the combinations of drive shaft splines and outer CV joints that have been used. They all use the Type-R inner CV joint, but some have the standard Elise outer or upgraded ones from the Ford Transit or whatever else was the flavour of the month. I have both new and used ones collected over the years, and every bloody one seems to be different sizes at the two ends of the CV. If it fits the drive shaft then it does not fit the hub flange or vice versa. However I think we have found a solution using three mix and match parts, but will not know until the garage opens on Monday morning.

I have two Honda S1's, N1 TUT and N3 TUT, so last resort would be to take the complete assembly off N1 which has been rebuilt and garaged for five years and fit that. Pretty sure that I will see you on Sunday, need to keep Brian in hand.

Cheers

you bringing the Esprit Archie...?! :)

Unfortunately no. What can i say? Nigel promised he'd get back in touch asap about the water pump over a month ago but still nothing.

I've got more time on my hands now because we've finished this years refurb on the lodge so I might take you up on the "help" offer. If it still stands?

cheers, Arch

Just a reminder that if you are coming along can you let me know where you will be joining us on the route as the timings are quite tight for getting to the coffee stop at The Railway Preservation Society at Milton of Crathes.

Can you also indicate if you have a passenger and if you want to take the Castle Fraser tour and have lunch there as I need to advise numbers to the organiser of the other group so he can advise the Castle etc.

Thanks for your help.

Brian

Did the same the last time I met up with you.

Hate the A96, so an early morning drive over the Cairn etc on my ownsome at my own pace, will set me up nicely for driving back in the opposite direction.

Will do anything to avoid dual carriageways and M/W's.

ps and as Brian says, i can check out for those scum of the earth Scam Vans. Had eleven points, now on zero, no front number plate on, so they can go and fcuk themselves.

ps when I said on my ownsome Justin, that only meant if there was nobody else with me as opposed to I did not want company.

If I'm early enough I'll see u at the top of Cairn O Mount. Otherwise it'll be Crathes. Justine likes to take it easy on Sunday mornings if we have no guests. My BRG M100 went off to a new home tonight so I'm down to one running Loti.

Weh heh, I'm home on schedule as well.

New gear linkage in the Evora is totally different to previous affair and MUCH better. Thanks to MMC for that. The new ECU map is a big improvement as well and was noticeable even getting out from the back of MMC. Much smoother. Car going home from the airport on Wednesday seemed much faster in pulling away in higher gears on the Motorway as well although to be honest that could just be me and my crap sense of speed after 4 weeks going nowhere fast on a ship. Looking forward to Sunday and Brain assured me last night at Club Lotus that he has ordered sunny weather AND clear roads. Mix in some good company and the day should be a blast.

Hopefully a nice day at Doune Hill Climb on the Saturday for a perfect w/e. Now how do you gag the speed limiter in the passenger seat again? :innocent:

Ah, that's a good point Al. With SWMBO on board we had better set off Saturday afternoon if we're we are going to get to Castle Fraser in time for Sunday lunch :innocent:

Seriously, we will meet you at Broxden at 8.00. Looking forward to a good out although I fully expect to be tail end Charlie. See above.
