Add that to finding the time with real life getting in the way, even though we have had more time on our hands, so not one per specific reason.


John yes those are the last now only one left which is the blue one.
Can I have the blue one please? PM set
Cheers,

Hi Arctic,
Have you a suggestion to a good replacement for the ones you've been making?

Hi Al.
These will fit albeit they need a fair bit more work to fit, in fact you may find it better and quicker if the passenger seat is removed to add fitting.

Steer clear of this type they do not fit

Hi Arctic,
Thanks for your reply.
The fitting you suggest, is there a "how to" section to fitting anywhere?

Hi Al.
There is but alas the photos are missing due to Photobucket stealing them but that's another story, down the line i found removing the passenger seat best to gain better access for the M53.

Just read this, no more compensators to be fitted at the nano's. !!!!!

So no more chances to break our record time.

15 minutes, if I remember correctly.

Hi Mark.
We could always try and set a bench mark for the R53 fitting

I swapped the ZT for a 75 two years ago and swapped the compensator between the 2 cars. Must be 7 or 8 years ago since I bought it off Steve and still going strong.
Very good of you to do them over all these years.

The silver one is looking nice and shiny on my desk. Many thanks Steve for that. Looking forward to fitting it when I get the chance.

I’ve just ordered this one. MOT due in September so I’ve got time to fit it and get a good handbrake.
