They will still be racing but not as much as they were now all of the original team has graduated.TyeNoodle wrote:Really, no fuel pump? Be interested to see how that goes!
Are you competing against the Swansea boys?
Cheers, I'll make a note! We'll sort that carbon cover our firstVariablevalves suck wrote:Pingle make some good fuel taps, the big bore gixer boys use them.

It's definitely made a difference, I'm feeling fitter & more agile. Just a shame I cannot shrink as 6'4" is not an ideal height for a 400!
The NC is going on a diet too:
False tank with an alloy fuel cell
Carbon ram airbox
Alloy/carbon brackets everywhere instead of the standard steel items
And we are designing a self-supporting carbon fibre seat unit
It all takes time though, but hopefully come next year it will be a bit of a beast & earn us some more trophies!
And what brackets are you changing other than the subframes?
I spoke to them and they don't have the mould anymore. He estimated a cost of making me a one off an it was too much.dx4 wrote:benny wrote:Where you getting the False tank with an alloy fuel cell?TyeNoodle wrote:Funnily enough, since agreeing to buy the bike I've gone from 14st12 to 13st6 in a month and a half.

Its worth mentioning Mike Dorey at BMC Racing in Whitchurch makes alloy fuel cells and very nice they are too! His site is offline last time I looked but im sure he is still out there.

Thats a shame. Then again if you go down that route you might be able to use better means than stand of mounting it. TeamV4 racing had Forge Motorsport make them a cell and used the front-most tail unit OE mount points as an anchor.benny wrote: I spoke to them and they don't have the mould anymore.

I'm having the cover made by a friend and then the tank as a separate unit by my local welder
