First trip out - First breakdown!

Yes - would you Adam and Eve it.

Went out to get fuel - coming back throttle pedal fell to the floor.
A little bit of linkage has done a bunk - managed to bodge it with a bit of wire to get home (only just down the road) and have now sorted it with a 5mm bolt and Nyloc nut.

Then took it for a good caning to punish it!

Speedo works great Ant, really pleased with that. Reads over slightly but thats not necessarily a bad thing.

As you said the clevis pin had fell off, but the little shaft is lost too, a 5mm bolt with a nyloc works fine, I see no need to change it back.

That's the problem with hand built cars - only as good as the builder!

Yep absolutely right - I can't go blaming TVR or Rover for that one!
