EH parts

[colt]

Anyone got any EH panels laying around? In particular a bonnet, a RH guard would be good also. Anything else considered.

Would prefer Canberra area, but will travel to Sydney, south coast, etc.

No, Weddo. I was the 2nd from the back of about 6 cars. The 1st car dumped it's oil and spun in it, the next spun and hit the 3rd, The car in front of me slammed on his brakes and with me on his bum going full noise around turn 8, I didn't have time to react. OW! If I did have time to swerve I would have had a Mini up my bum. I'll see if I can get a couple of pics up.

I have a grille panel and a rough guard but I need a bonnet and would prefer a better guard. Maybe Rares would donate a new guard? I have bought enough stuff off them over the years.

Here are a couple of pics that Col sent me.







Sorry to hear about the car Col.
The important thing is that the driver came out of it OK.

Thanks for the pics Alex. The worst part is the motor moved forward far enough to grind the water pump pulley into the back of my aluminium radiator. GRRRRRR. Even though it is restrained with chains. Bugger!

You can see why we have to have bonnet pins. I had to hit them open with a punch.

Its always the same Collin, you never plan to do anything or have any problems but with racing, something unexpected will happen, but it dosen't dampen your spirit for the sport.

I came home after the Baskerville Historic meeting with a slight miss and thought it may have been a head gasket. When I pulled the head off, number 5 was full of water and the gasket was OK. I had the head presure tested and found a small hole in the inlet port on number five. Have had it bronzed up twice and still chasing tiny little weeps under preasure. I don't think there is much left of the wall thickness. Not looking forward to doing another head as this one has the best port job I have ever seen, super big valves and enlarged chambers to suit the 3 1/4 bore (42mm intake valves and less than 1/8" between valves) But thats racing, and its worth it.
