Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
clocks ticking !!
Its Friday the 13th. Spring is here. So what plans do yo have for your Dutton(s)? I cannot believe how fast time is passing, evenings are drawing out and morning is light about 6ish, I think I need every available hour to get on top of every thing Dutton related. The B+ is up and running and hopefully will fly through the MOT next week, tomorrow its on the rolling road at the local engine builders, he owes me, so hopefully he will play OK. I may have to leave the paintwork and just drive it around getting progressively more patchworked as time goes on. Want it on the road by April so that I can get some miles on it before the Stoneleigh trip. The Sierra is running fine, I have plans, but nothing that cannot wait. I'm still thinking of cutting my losses and binning it, yet tomorrow I may feel like finishing it, who knows and who cares? So, come on whats what and who is going where? Plus I got a Pinto and box to rebuild, just remembered that !

Anyone heard of the steel brace between pinto engine and gearbox? Looks like a bent piece of flat with holes either end.

I'm getting to old for this ! 2 twelve hour days in a row to get up to date on bleeding kit cars. Pinto engine bits now at the shot blasters, think I've finally found the wierd handling problem of the Sierra, bit of body work on the B+ completed but ran out of filler, well actually, its gone off. Trying to rip another kit to bits and building another with my left hand. Drive way is hectic, neighbour's are well incensed, but a man gotta do etc. Finally, I'm changing my carbs back to 1.75, can I find the gasket? put it safe somewhere :-))

Best shot I got, through the welding screen at 9-15. Got a bit cold while I was hanging the washing out, had goosebumps on my knees :-))

Leggie going up on stands for a few days while i sort the front suspension and brakes. Making a new ARB mount is top priority though. Thats all providing we survive the eclipse of course. If thats all passed without issue then some of the 5 link bushes need changing too, not a job I am looking forward too as some of the bolts need to be drilled back at least as far as the bush tube due to corrosion.
