Get it back then! Haha. Either did I tbh, plus they're in the way for a cage, hint I ran them along the center. However I have a strange feeling there's a mount where they go through to the tank. Will just have to wait and see I suppose. It's just 8mm plumbing stuff, fits nicely inside standard fuel hose and meets regs.

Cool! I'll defo be getting that sorted as soon as the car is back then.

Cost me about £50 including buying a pipe bender and extra fuel pipe

Your correct on the cage mount being in the way but you can work round that bud

Is that the case for all cages? I'm looking at the obligatory saftey devices cup cage. If that's the case I can always run the pipes out half way between and bend them again.

Whats the way around it?

Looking good dude

[Assenracing]

There's a mounting box that you will need to weld in where your pipes are but as you have said you can more the pipes a little and not cause you and trouble. Good work so fare bud, I used to hate the blue book as I had to check it each year incase something had changed

Apparently only a rear cage is required, something to think about... weight saving & all that.

cool, might as well do that in the near future whilst I save for the cage. Yeah it's been not bad this year though, from what I've read there isn't any changes that affect me.

Interesting! However, full cage for me to keep in line with future plans. The hillclimbs are just a first step/steping stone for me so I won't be biting at your ankles for too long haha

Now you tell me I did consider a cheap gel battery but wasn't convinced by the quality for so little money. Plus the extra weight on the opposite corner may counteract my steak arse haha

The loop is awsome, however I only ordered one for some reason?

[Dave_P]

I've had one of those batteries since 2008, it's been drained totally flat more than once, I've changed it up and it's been fine.

Do they charge off a normal charger? or a specific charger?

That's handy to know dave, will keep that in mind for when this one goes to the big battery place in the sky.
