Ste - Hammerite Smooth Yellow, but don't buy any, I have 3/4 of a massive can here that didn't get used, that you can have :thumb:
for the record, LEDA in terms of what they used to be dont exist anymore, they are merely a brand that someone purchased after Lee and Dave (IIRC) got out of the game. One of them now works for GAZ and the other is retired..... So GAZ have all the LEDA engineering background now ;)
Dude before you start using that jack loads, get yourself some loctite and add it to all the little allen bolts.
Mine falls apart almost weekly!
Cheers fella-me-lad - got your email today, just crap at work at mo - boss is off for 3 weeks after having burst appendix :eek:Quote:

Any jobs at your place? ;) lol
Lazy not looking myself - when's the next track day :thumb:
week Sunday - Cadwell Park :thumb: :)
Gonna be ready?? :fingers-crossed:
you bet :thumb:
Just come in from garage, after another 7 hour slog :thumb: once again, broken record maybe, but another massive thanks to The Count James, travelled up again from Bedford tonight to give me a hand - really appreciate it mate!
So we got everything built up and bolted back on after fabricating some trick custom steering arms to aid me get full geometry (tracking) adjustability, as i'd ran out of inward thread on the original Nova steering arms, so couldn't get any tow out even if I wanted to, which I didn't like.
The elongated holes on the suspension leg worked, so much so that we managed to gain +1degree positive camber :( doh! lol which meant the tyre cleared the spring - yayyyy, but then fouled the wing in a bad way :mad: lol
We did lower it to the ground after pulling the wings out to cover the tyres, but it was wayyy too low, lol 1.5" from the floor actually, the manfold was lol
Will upload pics tomorrow, as I'm knacked at mo, and back out there tomorrow finishing off the job we started!
