2 fords on the top spots today!


That is all :0)

 

Good lads

 

Cool who was one of them Ronnie

 

Yes mate, fastest in qually and a win in the final :0)

Marc in the frs powerd S1 was the other :0)

 

Its was a good day, the escort lokked, and sounded really good.
Ronnies car was sounding amazing at the end of the start/ finish straight.

 

Well done Ron and crew
Heard you had bearing collapse again
(Set if mk's uprights next?)

Awesome result for mark again 3 for 3

 

We have only ever hads one come loose gus, the other two failiers looks like they just got too hot and siezed up! I think it may be down to the fact we run spacers,wide wheels and sticky tyres? Pluss Ron dose love a curb!!!

I think we need too look in to a better hmp grease maybe?

 

Congratulations to the Ford's


Brian

 

my bad

i knew you had bearing related problems

 

Well done fellas

 

Top result.Its great to hear Ronnie is doing well.

 

Thats cool, I just wanted to explain what was happning bud as I wonder if anyone else has had this? Mk hubs would be nice, but there is no money in the pot

 

The amount you had to drink Saturday night i wounder how you do F**k all on a Sunday fella its was a good night fella tThank you for the beer fella it was good to catch up with you guys

 

What bearings does he use Doug? I would be using timkin, not happy shopper ones.
And get them pressed in rather than impacting

If that doesn't work then its simply a case we have pushed them past the limit of the std bearings so bigger and stronger is the only way forward,
I would advise short term sourcing a set of hubs and arms and have new bearings fitted in them so they can be swapped at events quickly should another failure occur, I'm sure they are pretty easy to get hold of for cheaps.

Which one was it? The O/S/F collapsed at round 1

 

This time it was the n/s/f. The lap before I took the kerb at murrays which is the left on to the pit straight and heard a clonk. Figured it was just a rise joint knock or something. Next lap round. Took the same amount of kerb and the wheel locked up resulting in the car having to be lifted back to the pits.

Would love a set of proper uprights. Just need the budget for them.

Kidney for sale anyone??

 

You just need proper Grease mate , Red Redline or Neo , and then keep a spare in the van .
I changed mine every other event after I knocked both out over a race weekend .

 

That is what I thought Tony as if you look at them it looks like the grease has burnt off and gone dry.. Deffo somthing we need to get on top of ay :0)

 

If they are overheating surely that means they cannot take the load on them?
Have to measure the hub temps at the next round and see just how hot they get

 

Spot on , the std hubs are crap , JG did experiment with milling them out and using a bigger bearing ,I cant recall if theres a spindle from the Ford range that has a bigger bearing land on it but its possible . Look at the size of a std bearing and you'll see just how small they are .

 

What about transit bearings ?

 

Ronnie breaking the gear stick

 

Top result guys
