Changing od diameter minimum from 38mm to 44mm i think 1st jan for cages.

I spoke to the technical guy at MSNZ and he said there are some minor detail changes but the main one was the OD of the main hoop.

On the colour front we thinking of going with gray inside and engine bay, so it won't clash with the very shiney black outside.

It'll still be a while until it's going again, got lots of brackets to fab for revised cooling, lots of hose work to change, heaps of wiring to redo, basically lots of reliability type stuff!

Trouble is every time I look at something I think "that could be better" and start fiddling.

Took the worn out (hardly any km's) uprated clutch into Autoclutch.

He took one look at it and knew straight away what the problem was.  The pedal travel needed reducing as the uprated plate was narrower than the standard plate that was in it previously.  I had no idea and no instructions came with the unit.

At least it explains why it didn't last many km's and why reverse would often crunch.

He said it was a good unit and just needed to be relined and refaced, plus a new release bearing.
