  • Cosworth woes

    The car has been pissing me off big style this week. Everytime I think it's ok the brake fluid starts leaking from somewhere.

    Should be finally sorted tonight spent 3 hours on it and not a drop leaked. Find out tomorrow when it goes on the road,

    Is it just me or do these cars do this on purpose.

                    Nice one mate. They look very cool. I was asking Craig whether they were dust sealed, are they? I assume they fitted under the wheels without any faffing around?
                    Cheers

                      Yeah they were dust sealed see pic below. Only things I needed to do was put on longer wheel studs and on the wheel the balance weights had slightly raised numbers on them which I had to grind off.

                              Flipping heck. That is close. Wonder if I might save myself a bit of grief if I went for the 356mm disks.
