73E reborn

[mrar]

I went with 10.0:1 single plug in this 2.7 engine and used the parts purchased from clyde and harry to do it.
My Engine builder and Henry in the states were fine with the compression ratio,will be installed most likely this year in the carerra.
Can comment fully then. IMG_7390.JPG

I'm guessing arcing.. ground strap to +ve or similar... hard to imagine a battery doing that to itself without some intervention. Regardless, glad you and car got off lightly. Hopefully insurance can cover it..

Bingo, positive terminal to body as the protective cover had fallen off

The fire has sparked this... back to basics.

The fire that started this is a prime example of why batteries must be secure!

So I assume you'e going to build and RWB replica out of it Clyde - I might have to pay Dave a visit?

[Terminator]

What's and RWB replica?

Clyde I take it you are replacing the rearguards with standard guards and the wide rear rims with 6 inch ones. It did look tough though! Nev

It was a joke! But they always seem to cut the guards off and then attach huge flares in

Yes not actually running yet driving again but only autos for another couple of weeks but very close to walking normally unaided after a bit over 2 weeks which is pretty amazing

Glad you’re on the mend Clyde.

I see you decided to go back to narrow rear guards.
