Recent ACs / AC Mk11 Classic - available March 2014
« on: October 19, 2013, 03:48:36 »
Thanks Ross
   Car will be in Whitianga, on the Coromandel Peninsula, home to 200km of beautiful, winding coastal scenic roads
   Received the MKII diagram from Blas last month. Must say a great bit of work and he has agreed to update it with any changes that are peculiar to 2700
   Paul at Brooklands set the car up prior to its departure with the same geometry as suggested, though suspect I'll have to play with tyre pressures / suspension settings to accomodate our not so smooth roads. Dennis Oltholf suggested running the tryres around 22psi for a start, so will give this a go and see what its like

well noted :) one would hope that prospective purchasers would have the common sense to go through AC Heritage where they at least get a warranty and back up service, none of which is forthcoming from Boss, new or used

Barrie many thanks for your assistance as well, without which I would probably now be driving around in one of Gerry's cars, albeit with a healthier bank balance :)
   
   Chafford - Boss are still advertising the car to promote further sales. Steve Bloch has however removed any reference to 2700, namely VIN plate photo, anniversary badge photo and the reference to car #1 in the commentary. All 50 cars are supposedly to be identical, so the photos will be the same regardless, though I wonder if the later deliveries will come without the motif on the boot :)

The MKII car at Boss (COB2700) was actually sold in May and departed UK on the 6th October, bound for NZ. Steve Gray at AC Heritage did a great job of pulling all this together for me and it is a credit to his professionalism that 2700 even made this sailing.
   Boss have at my request removed all reference to 2700 from their advertising in the past few days. Presumably as the UK agent they are continuing to attempt to sell further cars, however here lays an interesting snippet of info... according to AL COB2710/13/14 and possibly 2719 have been sold in the UK
   Has anyone seen or heard of these cars ?

Recent ACs / EBC Greenstuff Brake Pads
« on: July 13, 2015, 07:00:39 »
I have to replace the Wilwood pads on 2700, as Wilwood is not on the NZTA approved list, for compliance.
   
   The brake specialists have come back with a recommendation of EBC Greenstuff pads http://ebcbrakes.com/product/greenstuff-brake-pads/
   
   Although they are recommended for cars under 200hp, the specialist feels that they would be preferable (as opposed to correct rated Redstuff pads), given the light weight of the car
   http://ebcbrakes.com/product/redstuff-brake-pads/
   
   Has anyone had experience of these pads ?
   Any pros/cons ?
   Any recommendations ?

General Forum / Wilmot Breeden Door Latches
« on: March 29, 2014, 23:37:28 »
Hi
   I'm struggling to get these latches through compliance on COB2700. Does anyone have any drawings or information on the double acting latching and whether these latches are burst-proof in the side / fore and aft planes. Any assistance would be appreciated
