    That is my other option if the MTB option fails. Something like this;

    http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/info-ISR2MON.html

    Those are £150 each though, they're very trick, and certainly lightweight at 150g. Just not as light or as cheap as a Hope caliper.

    Yeah what i thought of. Tiny and light but work really well. But yeah the price can be a killer.

    Some of you may have seen my post in the 'Wanted' section.

    My engine builder has finally come back to me with some figures for the rebuild of my 1000cc turbo engine (the one that's always been in the car). It's due to be rebuilt with steel rods, forged pistons, new valves and springs, custom camshaft etc.

    The total bill (with Arrows rods) is going to be about £5,500. It's not unreasonable given the parts and labour involved.

    But I have to accept that I simply haven't got access to that sort of money right now. So the 1000cc rebuild is on the back-burner for a while (very much still my plan to do it though).

    The rest of the car is 80% ready to race again, so I am thinking of installing a different (cheaper) engine just so I can get out and have a bit of fun with the car.

    Just got to find a suitable engine (or donor car) now - XE, LET, smallblock, 8v, 16v, hopefully something suitable will turn up.

    The garage floor has now been laid, so once that's completely dried out, at last I have somewhere to work on the car.
