If the price is right Bob. To be honest I don't have time to work on my own.

I started off using stone chip shield, then painted over with white Hammerite.

Ben, I was only joking, I don't think I could afford it mate. If my Mrs found out how much I spent on my Lambretta last year, I think she'd cut my willy off when I'm asleep?????

Just out of interest though, how much we talking about????

Aldepends on what you want done, but if I was you I wouldn't bother if you still want your dick

As I give the rear calliper's a freshen up I decided to do the fronts.



Fitted a new adjustable valve on the back

Old one



new one, tried to keep it in the same place and not cut the brake lines



I've also started to buy parts for the Omex I'm going to be fitting late this year. I started with the loom, the loom is a race spec with added extras. The next up to order was a 2.5 bar Map sensor, crank sensor, water & air and a coil pack. I also have to fit a 36-1 trigger wheel, so on the lathe it went to be machined. and this is about up to date.

ben where did you get the brake bias valve and bracket from? did you have to make a longer brake line to get it fit?

Hi mark, I made the bracket and the valve I think I got it from EBay.
I made the bracket so that I did not have to cut the brake line but had to mate a little line up as you may see in the pic above.

About time i did a little update, at the end of the summer i took the uno to a rolling road to make sure it was running right. So started with 151 BHP and end up with 171 BHP at 12 PSI of boost very happy with the end result.
The plan over the winter is to fit the omex 600 ECU which is what i'm up to now and will update on that soon.

I never fitted a dump valve on the engine so got my old one back.

 







I've also fitted some perspex windows all round.

Thanks Roybaser, I've still got the uno and still going well. Lot's have been done over the years but not posted much on here. Most of us are now using Facebook.
