Edinburgh Trial

After looking over the 2011 routecard, I am not 100% sure if Class 1 are doing Riley's Rise this year or not. If we are, then there is 1 typo and if we aren't, there are 4. For the moment I am going to assume we are, as I would like to see this new hill. Can anyone confirm this for me ?

Marlin roadster MGB engine

Hello just after abit of advice really, i changed the head gasket when i first got the car been driving it around for a couple of months, i competed init on sunday and came second overall in the pct, the car started smoking burning oil, the oil in the sump was being pressurized and sucked in thru the breathers, thers now water in the oil, i was ill as i was changing the gasket so cant remember to much, but it did have a straight egde, just wondering what the best gasket would be to use and is it worth trying a sealer as wheel? 

sorry for rambling,

Steven

Kingpin 14" Tyres

I have managed to get a batch of Kingpin 175/80/14 remoulds with the "correct" pattern (which seems to have a different name depending on who you talk to). If anybody wants some please contact me or Dave Haizelden or leave a note here and I'll get in touch.

 They are £27.50 each or £25 for 4 or more. We can either bring them to the start of a trial or if needed I can courier them out for £7.50 a pair.

 I hope this will be of help to some people as it seems a lot of the possible sources of these tyres have dried up!

Peugeot 205 rear Suspension

Earlier this year I asked for suggestions on raising the suspension of my 1360cc 205. You guys did'nt let me down and I acted on your advice.

So far I have increased the height of the front of the car using a pair of 405 Springs. 

I have just raised the rear by adjusting the Torsion bars. However on attempting to refit the rear Shocks I found they needed to be approximately 25mm longer. It was suggested to me that 306 units would be the answer. Unfortunately looking at these they were the same length (325mm between centres).

Any ideas which shocks I could fit.

Thanks

Nigel
