Hi ade sorry I dashed off when you showed up at the ace but I was feeling flu'y
As for a shakedown a few squeaks and rattles, I've been keeping a to fix list;
1. Engine running after ignition off - solved by backing carb stops off 1/4 turn
2. Starter stuck on me had to roll it and dump the clutch to free it
3. C/lock completely stopped working cant lock the car (good thing it was open)
4. Metallic rasp at 5000rpm (on the interior gauge) didn't push it past this point (repeatable)
5. One of the driver's side crotch belts isn't attached to anything can't find any buckle
6. Windscreen washers not working on properly, one works after 5sec's
7. Wind whistle from driver's door 11'o clock position
8. Loose bolts in the engine bay (hoping they are dropped ones)
9. Pedal height off acc pedal way way down compared to brake and clutch
10. Head light stayed on with button set to off (but only happened once)
11. Gear selection seems temperamental at times need a double de-clutch (just the 915 perhaps)
12. Rear RH indicator bulb not working, will try to get one
13. XXXXX
14. 2nd Key isn't for my car (Paul McLean mixed them up?)
15. Hazard light switch not mounted (hidden in a tangle of wires under dash)
16. Speakers foul cross brace on cage
17. Right vent smashed
18. Interior lights don't work.
19. Front indicator housing screw not attached to anything
20. Clutch engages too low i.e. just off the floor board
21. Brake bias off front locks up to easy, cant lock back at all.
22. Passenger mirror just decoration, will try to adjust it.
23. Also the shoulder belts haven't been mounted correctly.
I'm sure nick will put all the things right so not to worried. Plus there's a few things nick already knows about, like having to take out the carpets and chop the throttle stop off to get full throttle, wheels that didn't fit, bits of trim etc
n.b. 13 on the list has been removed for security reasons

I am shocked that Simon has posted his list of problems here on a public forum without even calling me or letting me see the list first. I think we can resolve these minor problems on what was a major build without Simon feeling the need to use the pressure of public airing of his fustrations. I am sure he wouldn't be pleased if his customers felt the need to air their snagging list in public without giving him a chance to put things right. Consequently I shall try and resolve these alledged problems in private rather than here. Ian is right in that the car is getting a shakedown before being rolling road tested.
This refers to my attempt to resolve the issues in private, rather my ability to resolve the issues. The car would have been ready in plenty of time for Brands Hatch had Simon not decided to add to the specification late in the build. Also I wish to clarify that the mysterious item 13 is not a safety item.I shall try and resolve these alledged problems in private rather than here

I am sure that Nick M will accept an apology and that you can continue to work together.
