    I think Watford Gap is the stumbling block!

    I've never been to Watford Gap. Is there a bridge over it yet?

    It would really be great if I can meet a few of you to take a look at your builds and finished cars before I have to commit to a specification. Please let me know if any of you are heading out for a drive or a meet and I will try my best to meet you.
    Besides that, if anyone has original parts, donor parts or a build trolley which you are looking to off-load please get in touch!

    Oh Good....................I can play guess your Chassis number with you

    Hi all,
    I too placed a deposit on an LB Stratos a couple of months ago and am patiently waiting for the 12-18 months waiting list to tick by! Like Dan I am filled with excitement and terror, usually in equal measures but depending on whatever thread I've read on the day the realisation of the size of the task I've given myself and the minefield of obstacles that will have to be deftly navigated!!! I have always drooled over the Stratos ever since I was a young boy so this will be the realisation of a lifelong dream, a massive challenge and a massive achievement. I consider myself to be fairly competent on the spanners but I know I'm no auto engineer and this will be a very steep learner curve (near vertical at times). I've recently managed to source a 166 3.0l donor car and am researching engine extraction and parts strip requirements. I'm also looking at the dual mass to single mass flywheel conversion and would appreciate any advice on offer.


    Hi Dan,
    I live only a couple of miles from Eastwood so would be interested to keep in touch and compare notes.

    Cheers
    Steve

    TTV now do a solid flywheel. I got them to make me one using an OEM solid one as a pattern. They now sell a 6.5kg lightweight version (the one they made for me) and an 8kg OEM weight version. AHM also sell it under their own brand.

    Dan, Steve,

    I have a Garage Day on 15th September in Buxton Derbyshire, you are both welcome to come along and chat to other members of the group. I have a LB Stradale which went on the road last November and as you say there is a lot to learn.

    Another Nottingham LB - there is definitely something odd going on here . Does Craig advertise on the side of local buses by any chance?
