Even if you don't want them, someone else might as a period accessory. I wouldn't burn them, just give em away to an 80s foamer

Wof guy backed the car up with the trailer on the rollers. Gave me a fail, 25% efficiency.
I took the trailer back to the workshop wasting the customers money stripping and inspecting and finding brakes faultless.
Went back, guy backed it up again, fail. Had to ask him if I could pull the lever (remember I'm not a general public, or I'd never be allowed in the lane) braced on the front of the trailer and managed to get 52% with my foot on the handle.
It sounds more to me like something that is targeting electric trailer brakes? Maybe? Otherwise the variables on that are way too fucking wild to even attempt.

Trying to assemble a twin side draft linkage kit, any tips on where to find individual components?

They also sell/provide individual components, as does palmside, I believe.

Damn when did the exchange rate with oz get so good?
It was better in May.

Don't listen to these guys, vinyl roofs can fuck off.
Solid colour and slam. That's how we do.
I almost bought an LD28 converted one years ago that looked identical to this. Same wheels, height, etc I initially assumed it was that car but even the engine is stock in there!
Awesome sauce.

You haven't neglected to attach a vacuum line somewhere? Or perhaps one is perished or beginning to do so?

That is cool, good to see the bike and the build getting the attention and respect it deserves.
The way the article is written and how it repeats itself over and over kills me though. I assume the writer grew up watching Dora.

Here's an idea. Don't travel 70 in a 50 with a bullshit excuse about over heating.

Turns out it is running rich, checked the plugs last night (which are new) and they are black (had the idler screws out 1.5 turns. Going to try screwing them back to 0.5 and lower the float level a bit. Fuel was filled up last weekend, got 95 in it.
Cheers
Put 100 in it.
I get that it's an American lump used to running on garbage but give it a fighting chance to be good.

If you decide the AR1s are too motorsporty, I've got a recommendation for you.
Hankook Ventus RS4. They're available in 225/45-15 and are a great all rounder. This is the new class tyre for MX5 racing (although we run 195s). So far the lap times are about the same as the R888Rs and they're loads better in the dry.
I've done 6 meetings on my first set and they're barely showing signs of wear. I'll probably get 12 race meetings out of a set at the current wear rate.
We pay under $200 per tyre for ours and I'm sure you'd be able to snag a set of 225s for ~$250 per tyre if you use the right dealer...
Do "tyres for power" and "tyres for mx5s" have a crossover?
Seriously though. Good option.

Can't be any worse than trying to buy a rotary from a Kiwi "rota" guy who is vague with details and reluctant to let anyone view...

Stoked for you brother.

I think it needs a high rise, supercharger and some predators. No real way around it.
That'll need a new camshaft too.
Some headers wouldn't go a miss either.
