Good one Douglas! Following.

Shhh! Dang! Too late.

Welcome Steve.

Thanks for sharing. You deserve some breaks.

Yes but the claimed top speed of the 400 was about 20mph higher. 103 vs 83mph. In fairness it was big and heavy even for a 400.

Was it still running a single front brake disk?

I don't either. It's on Freesat, Channel 147. It's also on Freeview, Channel 11.

It's on tomorrow (Friday) at 10pm on Sky Arts (Freesat) and again on Sunday at 10:40pm.

Yes. 400 Super Dream. No studs were damaged but I did a nifty head and barrels off job with the engine still in the frame. Welded some pieces of an extension bar together to get at the big end nuts without needing to split the engine. All done and back together in an evening. It's not how I'd do it these days but I was an apprentice and more willing to take risks then. Oh yes... Like you said, EZ outs (screw/bolt extractors) may be the answer but you have to be very steady with the tiny drill bit to get the pilot hole in the centre. The smallest extractor is usually good for screw shanks of 3 to 5mm diameter. You will need a tap wrench to use one.

That's quite effective. Is there a colour changing option with that rope? I've used the ribbon but it's not great for sweeping bends and stuff.
