Dutton Knowhow

Sorry that my first message on here is a begging letter, but I have just aquired a Dutton Melos which I would like to fettle for MCC trials. However at the moment it is too low slung to drive on anything but a billiard table. As other members of this species are often seen in MCC events, It must be possible to raise them up from the dust. Is it a matterof  different springs/shock-absorbers etc or are there recommended chassis mods? Can anyone please give me the benefit of their knowledge on this?

 

Many thanks in advance

Chris Jones

Hello - As I didn't get a reply to the email I sent a few days ago I have assumed you don't want to continue with your application. I have denied it so you can always apply again if you want to.

Bovey Down Trial

The Windwhistle MC organized an excellent trial last sunday in the "Normans Hump" & "Clinton" woods.   25 sections, all of MCC/ACCT difficulty, all in daylight all in sunshine and no road milage.

 

Thanks to Tim Whellock, the other organizers and marshalls.

Liege Wheels Questions

I'm having a hard time finding Liege information on the web; perhaps someone can help me with these questions about the cool Liege alloy wheels.

 

- What size are they? 16x3.5" is what I remember.

- Will they fit on an axle with Honda bolt circle dimensions? I'm guessing that the Suzuki and Honda wheels are interchangeable, but can't verify it.

- How much do they weigh?

- How much do they cost?

- What kind of tires--oops, tyres--can you put on them? I'm particularly interested in low rolling resistance tires.

 

I want to put them on a Honda Insight, which uses the same wheel dimensions as the Honda Civic. The Insight (in America, at least) comes with a 165/65R14 Bridgestone RE-92 tire which is particularly good for fuel economy, but dodgy in all other ways. Perhaps a 135/60R16 is available?
