Taimar Race Car Questions

[G1lbern]

Hoping for some more advice on my Taimar re historic racing. I've completed one sprint event so far and planning to run in a historic circuit event end of November. Passed scrutineering ok for the sprint yesterday but will need a few more items for the circuit race. I need to fit wired sump, gearbox and drain plugs and wondering if anyone knows where I can buy replacement plugs so I can drill them and fit. I also need longer wheel studs as I'm running minilites with sleeved bolts and need longer studs to meet regs. I'm in Australia so would need to get these ordered and posted pretty soon to be ready for the next event.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I am assuming the lock wiring is purely down to your regs. Its not generally a requirement in UK, though some regs require a seal tag to show engine isn't tampered with post eligibility scrutineering.

I have M12 long ford type pull in studs at the front and rear. There are 2 types available….Thin shank spline are the ones to go for. If you google Merlin Motorsport they are available mail order.

Thanks - those are exactly what I want. The wired sump plugs are a local requirement for WA historics, apparently because we have several street circuits and have to be really strict about spilling oil on the public roads, also have to wire the oil filter but that can be done with a jubilee clip. Still need to find a source for the gearbox plug, I've found sump and diff plugs on ebay so far.

Most of the wheel nuts and studs sold in the UK come from Grayston Engineering in Chessington. They have a wide variety and are generally cheaper than their re-sellers
