As the man who merely came second in class 3 at the Silverstone Autotests, my congratulations once more to the winner, Scott, who would look handsome on the podium, if there was one. The water leak was investigated, and the process perhaps inevitably resulted in both studs smoothly coming out of the block. Before cleaning everything up and putting them back in with locktite, I looked up the forum, finding much discussion of the desirability or otherwise of stainless bolts etc. However the car had to be mobile the next day so reassembly took place. The Ruby was needed for a nav rally recce, we care not about subjecting entrants to single or even double chevron ascents, occasional engagement of first is part of the fun. However downhills are seriously considered, and the route changed if sufficiently steep to cause abject terror for the navigator.
