Oh, and visit the toilet before the race, that always gets rid of a bit of weight! :wink:


Yeah but that's counteracted by having lunch and drinks.

That's exactly what happened to my original steel one!

It is amazing how many races have been lost over the years due to alternators falling off because the mounts break from vibrations. I would not be fitting an aluminium plate to any motor. It is just asking for trouble. The plate only has one structural job to do and most people will forget that in the pursuit of bling.
