Yeah that is the problem! im sure the raging rhinos lot will carry a lot of spares as well bit maybe ht leads would be a good idea as most of those guys run 8valvers don't they?
As long as the bends are good and your existing cage is made out of good tube I'd probably just improve it to save a bit of money rather than starting it again from scratch. it shouldn't be hard to put an internal Xbrace in using sandwich plates through the body
haha I doubt it will, you know we like to laugh at those lawn rovers most of the time. Guess you'll be grouped with a lot of the full on comp motors as you have front and rear lockers? when's round one? If you haven't found a bitch I might be up for coming over and running (falling over) around in the mud
if you have I might come along to watch anyway.

Not sure, never been out with them lot before, il take a few bits anyway
Cage I am sure I can do something with, it's been made well from seamless tube, welds are good. We shall see
Round one is in April? Can't remember the date. No I haven't got a bitch yet, need to find one lol !!

Spare belts and bulbs?

Not using it at night. The power steering belts a strange length as is got a v6 pump on a 1.6 !! But that should be ok. And the alternator belt again is a funny length to clear the power steering box. I mounted my engine very low so it's all a bit tight
More importantly I have the beer and snack food supply sorted right out
priorities first !!

On the snack food thing. Most supermarche and intermarche do a peanut flavoured wotsit type snack. You can get them here but they cost a fortune. I found them strangely moreish.
Don't know if your a salad cream fan but thats impossible to find over there. When you do its megabucks!
If your fan belts are all odd sizes i'd defo be taking spares just incase.

I think your spellchecker decided that your diffs didn't need pinions, they needed to give you advice instead!

Haha I am sure it will be all worth it in the end
