    Re: Tarmac Rally Stratos Build begins

    I agree it does sound like an exercise in liability management. I don't know how over-engineered the Herald rack is.
    I've used the Rimmer rack without problem, but generally on smoother single-venue tarmac. Something like the Tour of Mull might be a different thing. Actually come to think of it I had to replace it after one of my bigger shunts at Chatsworth, but I had to replace my (standard) RS2000 rack after a lesser incident.
    If an escort rack has suitable dimensions that fits and doesn't involve creating bumpsteer, then they are a tried and tested item.

    Next video, bit of a fix of some mismatched alfa parts I managed to end up with, finally got a new microphone, still playing with the settings but hopefully some much improved audio

    Nice one Colin. I wish I possessed 10% of your engineering skills mate! All I can manage are the safety beers......hic! Keep them coming and sound was perfect too.
    I have lots of hidden talents. The problem is, even I can't find them!

    Thanks Ade. (the new mic cost 3 times more than my camera!)

    Got the new gear shifter cables the other day so should be able to move back onto shifter and finish that up for the next vid

    Colin,

    Andy had to do some re-engineering on the same part for his Hawk. See here:
    https://www.stratosec.com/Forum/show...septogyl/page7

    Although in his case it was prompted by the use of a sequential box.

    Is your 6 speed Alfa gearbox from a 166?, as in, no diff. mount facility like a 156/GTA/GTV has?
