Sorry to hear about this Dave. I know how much you liked that car. Hope the new project gives you as much fun.
Without sounding like a vulture, is the E shaft knackered or will you be using it again?

I think the E shaft is toast Adam - it\'s badly scored and deformed on the front stationary gear bearing.

I have only wiped the components down using a towel, so the rotors actually look amazingly clean - this shows how well the 2 stroke lubricating system had been working (The marine 2 stroke contains detergents).  Very low carbon buildup :-)

Oh crap... Big damages... :/ Sorry...
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

I\'d be delighted to take it off your hands Liam ;-)
 
Don\'t suppose you\'ve got a Series 4 low compression Rotor spare as well ? :D

Dave, you should of took it when you were down here last time.
no low comp rotors but have a pair rotors milled out by WGT (i believe) for 3mm seals.

i\'ll be heading to london sunday but think you will be at RS?

By any chance do yo have a spare plate that goes to the underside of the gear box? rectangular about 6" x 2" and bolts?
Maybe pm me to keep your thread clean :)
