Well I don't really need a transponder as it's my first year so Melville will lend me a free one!

Best of luck in your first year................you WILL love it

And in a couple of years when you've got your national...............Manx Grand Prix awaits................

[Geffro]

I look forward to it! Cheers Cargo!!

Also does anyone know where the best place to get some spare rearsets is? Also Im struggling to find a big jubilee clip to lockwire the oil filter?

Cheers

Should be able to get a big jubliee clip in your nearest motor factors.............halfords might even have them bit I don't much like halfords.
Try Ebay

Be warned I've seen oil filters leak oil at the seal because of an overtightened jubliee clip and tighten the clip mid way rather than near to the engine/seal................thats how I do it not sure if I'm right in my thinking but I've not had any leaking oil filters................I know of one man who covered the first 200 yards of a Manx GP with oil thanks to a leaking oil filter...............race had to be stopped.

Also you could consider using K&N oil filters...................they come with a handy 13mm hex nut on the front to make removal very easy and the hex nuy is drilled with a hole for lockwire

I think for peace of mind Im willing to pay £9.50

Claims the the H2 is an import tho?

Ok mate - will e-mail thro tuesday when I get back. I got a £3 jubilee clip at local car parts place. If you go for the K&N filter they come with a hole for lock wire

[Geffro]

Cheers Dave, that would be great thanks! Think Im just gonna go for the simple solution of getting the K&N filter then

You learn something new everyday eh!?

Next question is for the knockhill racers; How much Shell V Power fuel do you guys bring with you & can you buy fuel at Knockers & EF? Got my ACU test on Saturday & practice on Sunday so just trying to get everything sorted now. Cheers!

About 20-25 litres for a weekend race meet.Not sure if you can buy from knockhill def no at east fortune.But buy before you go as it will be cheaper anyway.You wont need much for the induction day think you only do a few laps.Mind your thermals Brrr

[Geffro]

Good, good! Well that's my 25 litre jerry can full of V Power! Hopefully that'll do my Sunday practice session to...... if I pass my test on Saturday that is!? Na Im a west coast highlander we don't need thermals! lol
