I satin black'd my grills etc all in situ about 5 years ago and they've stood up great. Better than the front badge that I took off actually.

Mine developed a pinhole leak. Held pressure when not being used, but sprayed like feck when you turned the wheel.

Can confirm dead easy to change. Oil will come out, as in a dribble, but get the replacement ready and just put your thumb over the end when the old one is removed and clean up the drips with a rag afterwards. It's not like changing the spray gun whilst the hosepipe is on.

Tire Streets is the retailer, think the brand is Accelera. Edit: Yep, https://tirestreets.co.uk/collections/track

That's pretty disappointing! Unless I've misunderstood. I suppose if you've bought it as a completed car you can be a bit more objective than those who have built their existing car. I'm probably doing the right thing leaving my engine standard, as tempting as it is. Apologies for the thread hijack!

Wanted one of these for the longest time, then had a passenger ride in one and something in the seats digs into my thighs and was super uncomfortable. Was gutted.

A flip front would be great! Although it would never be fitted on mine :LOL: I know the bolt wasn't there at the last oil filter change so it can't be from a prior clutch change. Unless I missed it last time and it was there. I remember I'm 99% sure I did the filter from underneath last time...

Checking pics vids on my phone they all look to be in situ.

I'm just wondering if it was a little Brucey bonus from when I had the belts done. I'm also thinking its a possibility that during the belts being done, this bolt has been dropped, and the mechanic presumed it had come out the bottom of the car, and a new replacement bolt was used...

Jesus this is going to be a dick of a job isn’t it! Two steps forward one step back I suppose

Is there? Am I presuming it’s bolt no.11 but it’s actually bolt something else?

Okay so came back home, straight out here, tried the bolt and………….. There’s already one there. Under the electrical plug. Any hints? I’m leaning towards it being for the AC bracket again now.

Now I know its that, I'm defo refitting it.

Cracking stuff! Cheers all. Looking forward to getting home and trying it tonight!

Yep I changed it a few weeks ago but was sure I'd done everything up. Going to take the slam panel off tonight and have a proper nosey around with a torch. So despite it being a flanged head, we think its no.11 in the below?
