I always thought you had to keep the handbrake cable+cable calipers to pass the mot? Does you're car not need an mot or have found a way round that issue?!________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

Yeh you do need a mechanically operated handbrake for the mot. Hopefully standard fiscal and pads have enough bite in them on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday I'm having a busy night fitting my new brakes..... ![]() |

Well this is kind of a celebratory post..I actually got everything bolted together. And had it in its final running spec. The new discs have probably made a difference. But i think the biggest difference brakes wise is the bigger master cylinder. The brakes now work how I originally hoped they would. The suspension seems great! Feels very planted and not at all twitcy. just all round spot on. And I think the huge amount of extra caster has really improved the grip no end. But has made the steering heavier! Haha. All in all, I'm edging towards my happy place! Just not sure Il get a huge amount more shakedown time before next weekend. |

What were your thoughts on the Satchshift system? Been tempted by it in the past as an extravagance and because it looks cool but not sure if it's worth it?________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

What are you doing with the satchshift? Been after one for ages but he doesn't look like he will be making any for a long time ![]() |

I've got a high compression bottom end with forged rods and race bearings. Then head wise it's fully ported, with pyre cams, solid lifters, bigger valves. And the jenvey bodies. Hoping to make a 4-2-1 manifold fit too. . |

Well it is a very good bit of kit. It's well made. It's quite a bit of effort to install it. It would be far easier with the whole dash out. It's one of those things that when fitting, you fit it where you can put it. There is no 100% set position. Although it's always going to be within a little bit. It works very well, and makes for a real short shifting movements. Only problem I think I had, was that my gearbox has short movements anyway. I think with that having reduced ravel, and the satchshift making it even shorter, it became just that bit too short for my setup. With a normal type of box then it would undoubtedly be spot on. I shall reply to PM later on. ![]() |

Doh, I did ask about the satchshift when he put it in the "what's it worth section" but never mind |

The only thing is that it doesn't have a lift up reverse mechanism. Hence the agricultural lever attached to it to work the lift up reverse cable! Although that was only bolted on so is removed from the gear lever now. I think I actually stole that off our garden rotavator! |
