Great news that is, very lucky indeed. Get some oil changes done too just in case of any bits still floating around! Hope it stays fine.

Come on Nic, there's no need to delete the thread after all the replies and people who constantly look for updates in here, surely?

todays boring update consists of a boost pipe coming off. and an oil change. all of which i will be doing later. then doing some more miles and some more checking etc.
hopefully it will survive for the enxt 1/4mile weekend at kirkbride which is a local air field begining of next month.

Boost hose clamp not tight enough?
You ordered lockable bonnet catches yet?

no and no. i cant remember tightening it so probably just shoved it back together.
a friend of mine from here said they might be able to get them aero catches a bit cheaper so im waiting on a reply from them.

Surprised that metal pipe doesn't have a bulge at the end to make it harder for it to blow off. and that.
