If you've got that much to do would it be possible to put a lh thread on and solve it permanently?  Only risk then if it fails is tightening the bearing to destruction but hopefully that's something you'd notice in time and it's a risk you've already accepted on the other wheel

It would but I think a steel nut with a roll pin through it will solve that issue anyway without the hassle of trying to them make LH threaded nuts instead of just off the shelf driveshaft nuts.

Okay, since the last round didn't happen, this weekend, there were two rounds to catch up, one on Saturday, one on Sunday  :o

I was at home with a very sick dog (in fact she's passed away unfortunately) so Eddy took his missus as a passenger for the weekend and headed down with some friends for support.
Car seemed pretty good and it ended up 7th in yesterdays event and 8th today - out of a LOT of cars as the event was booked solid to the limit - and 40-50 seconds per stage faster than the next nearest 2wd competitor.
Given the amount of 400 horsepower 4wd cars there, pretty happy.

Sad new about the dog but a good weekend with the buggy with the new modification fitted.

Oh, and it managed the 3rd fastest stage time of the event at the end there once he got up to speed, which is promising...

I'm amazed you can see where your going or is that the secret to driving that fast in those conditions.

Zephod Beeblebrock's danger glasses come to mind

Anyone with no idea what I'm talking about give yourselves a treat and watch  Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Bit of struggle with that one but it's mainly because I haven't coated the new windscreen, I usually run Gtechniq sealant which is amazing, mega old video on a potato camera but:

There's a decent round at Tong tommorow too but given the weather and flooding around here, I'll only be there to spectate for an hour :D

Always entertaining, stimulating and frankly slightly gobsmacking to see your buggy being thrashed around.

Turning the engine up over winter  ;D ;D

It's getting another 40 horsepower. See if we can fly a bit further...
