thank you to everyone for there advice. iv changed my first ever ducati timing belts today and it started with out going bang.!


just need to get hold of a few things now

rear sets : just been reading the acu rule book and say that they can be folding as long as they return to original poition and have rounded ends. so does that mean you can keep the originals on it ?

were the hell do you get a 2kg dry powder fire extinguisher from

Yes you can

Halford? I don't remember where I got mine... Surely Halford or Homebase, can't help more.

Last season we could rent them for £10 for the whole meeting but you had to leave either £50 cash or a credit card as a deposit.

tansponders : so you lot rent them from new era then. are they going to be doing that again this year?

Yes! Although you may find them a little low in the standard position.

Ebay is your friend...

Extinguisher 1
Extinguisher 2
Extinguisher 3

You could also try, Halfrauds, Machine Mart, Screwfix Direct etc etc

I've used a camping roll mat in the past. Ebay again perhaps? or Millets etc. £3 for enough foam to make 6 seat units.

You can hire them from New Era on the day. £50 deposit and £10 fee (I think). You get the £50 back at the end of the day when you take the transponder back - obviously.

Look at that, I've actually been helpful and not taking the pi$$.

[domski]

New transponders are about £200.

Even second hand ones fetch top money, as there is such a demand for them.

[Dominic Clegg]

ebay cool

camping mat very good

thank you

[domski]

Good thing with the camping mat is that you can build up layers if you need to, and also make a bump pad on the back of the seat to hold you forwards in the seat - or not.

[Dominic Clegg]

you know cutting up a camping mat is one of the best ideas iv had so far from this web thing site

[domski]

Oh shucks!!

Foam padding is for touring and shirt lifters
