Re: Wanted - handbrake caliper

Atom 2 with Alcons allround so I went for mechanical spot calipers and mount plates from rallydesign, and had my bro-in-law weld to the uprights with cables and lever from factory. Pretty poor retardation but when tested on road for mot and combined with engine braking (when you come off the gas in ...

Re: Speed Bleeders and Alcon 4 pot

Hi Stuart, Didn't manage to determine the size before I switched solutions and, since I have twin nips all round, went for a bleed bottle with twin hoses and no-return values built in. Not cheap, but cheaper than new nips all round. Still not used it though as new tester says fluids ok, so can't be ...

Re: Speed Bleeders and Alcon 4 pot

Cheers John, useful doc.

The Goodridge Speed Bleeders on Demon T have these size options - 6x1mm, 7x1mm, 8x1.25mm, 10x1.25mm, 10x1mm.

Of the two 10mm options, 10x1mm seems most popular but I think I'll give the factory a quick call Monday before ordering.

Thanks

Re: Atom 3 seat with 2 "ashtrays"

One option may be to bend the gear lever forward a little. I have not had to do this myself as my seat is set far enough back for it not to be a problem. I noticed a few at the Brands session had bent theirs

Re: Self-cancelling indicators 2010/11 - THEY'VE ARRIVED!!!

Product improvement suggestion. It would be good to be able to configure the duration of the short and long sequences. Both are too long for my taste (but much better than some of the durations I had before fitting these  ;) ) A bank of dip switches on the control box might be the way or using the s...

Re: back up light

I replaced mine with one of these

Nowhere near the quality of the FIA rain light but better than the stock reversing light IMHO

Re: Honda decals? - where can I source some?

Can't help with the Honda decals but I removed the url from mine with my thumb nail. Once you get them started they'll peel off quite easily but each character is separate so takes a while.

Posted by: Bruce Fielding Insert Quote Good news! I am about to order another ten s/c indicators. Bad news... The price has increased... to £160 per set. Still represents pretty good value though, when taken as a percentage of the cost of the car. If you would like a set, please put your name down o...
