Hi,

Due to snags with my current Race Car (Diff re-build, clutch explosion (twice)) and trying to get a Rally Car on the road oh and work, progress has been slow.

My intent is to get it racing next season.

I have been talking with Alistair and we have a way forward for the mods needed to fit a ...

I will be fitting one door bar to the cage on the drivers side. The aim is to get an established cage manufacturer to make it. There is one very near to me in Wiltshire and I have emailed them.

I will probably fit at least a B-pillar bar (bolt-In) and probably a dash one from small car experience ...

As I will be replacing them with perspex, the following is for sale:

All Glass for MkII less windscreen which will be retained.

MIdas Mk II Dash - it will need covering to offset additional holes for instruments but in good shape other wise.

Hi Brian, Great stuff! Before you commit to seats etc. how about waiting until the 2010 Blue Book comes out and see what it says about seats for racing ( the MSA implements immediately any safety aspects and without warning)
I saw the "Yellow Peril", a group 6 1293.engine'd Cox Gtm, as featured in ...

As a scrutineer of some 30 years, a bonded 3mm plate I would accept but not a rear beam instead of. Both together is ok'
A Midas seat reclines more than a Mini, for headroom, so its close to the main hoop, which may be moved rearwards to allow fitting which may make backstay angle less "than 30 ...
