Top Gun pilot Booth, donned it holey flight suit and released a lot of trapped air, then he downed 4 bottles of dot 4 and started bleeding the brakes :shock: :D after a bottle and a half brake fluid came out

You got a standard beam ? If so it should roll alright might be tight if your still on standard profile tyres an it would help if you lower the back a bit too

Hi no its on a 4" narrowed beam with adjusters set to lowest setting I've also got low profile tyres on the front there is about 2" of room between tyre and arch at the mo.
The rear end I'd down one spline on horseshoe plates too

Thanks ash I'll post the results up if the weather holds up tomorrow

Any advice offered is worth it's weight in gold
 
Cheers for the props dude, always happy to help out, think I was letting out trapped air in more ways than one today :)
Think it was the beer from last night causing it!!

Shame about linkage snapping I was looking forward to blasting up and down the road when we get the carb sorted,

I'm full steam ahead working on my 13window tomorrow going to set myself ninove as a target!! Although il probably shotgun with you cos yours WILL be on the road by then dude lol
 
cheers Rob, I'm very happy with it's stance :D Booth I'll get the gears sorted during the week so we can blast it up and down the street, more the merrier for Ninove. Proper road trip. Next time I (sort of) promise not to under take 2 Polish artic's on a dusty hard shoulder on a France duel carriage way on the way home :D
 
bought a OG solex 34 pict 3 carb. I was told it was rebuilt *in the style of Mike Strutter* Mother ******!
