Broke the large ring off the outer end of the top link about a week after
the car was kerbed by someone else. The wheel rim was only lightly bent so
I guess it was a welded joint failure. The car was slowing into a
roundabout and the tyre folded outwards. Never had any other complaints
about anything Tim Fenna has sold me. The 165/70/13s touch the large nut on
the bottom link by only a coupla mill and was sorted out by using 1/8 Dural
plate as a wheel spacer. The car is a 1972 that was built with a 1500 type
front chassis so may be non standard in its dimensions. Never had an MOT
failure on the other Twin-cam with the same set-up but that was a '73 1275
chassis.
Latest from Eire.
Coupla IRA convicted murderers/bombers shot an unarmed prison officer in an
attempted escape but were soon caught.(Guess which nation the guns were sent
from?)
They got roughed up during the arrest and were filmed, Rodney King style, by
the prison cameras.
They are suing for £50,000 each for unnecessary violence and breach of human
rights etc. etc.
The prison officer only got £5,000 compensation!
Do you have a catalogue? What else do you make? What's this engine kit?
Do you want any bits from over here? Do you know about Ital discs bolting
straight onto a Frogeye stub axle? Do you miss REAL Beer? Proper Bacon
Butties? Rain? Money with coloured ink?

2 cans of Special Brew in the fridge next to tomorrow mornings Bacon
P.S. Can you get me a Green Card? <G>
