Rob
most on the guys on this feed are from TCCA and are doing the 6 hour with us
and as Ian said
we will be sharing the garage with them

Hi Fellas,

I'll be sharing this with a mate for the 6hr, if you see it make sure you come say hello

[Rob5000]

Terrific am looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out their cars

Does anyone have a copy of the checklist that the scrutinisers use? I found out last night that I needed a battery terminal cover and was wondering what other things I may get caught out on.

[viccelicara23]

Pm me your email and ill send it through.

[ian]

even on there checklist they do not state about the positive terminal to be covered
the scrutineers will tell you to cover it , unless its in a battery box with a lid

[SilverRA23]

they get anal about needing clear tape over the headlights too, rather than any colour.

i used race tape to cover my battery terminals

...oh and degrease anything in the engine bay if it has got oil on it.......they want a clean oil free engine bay.

On another note all those who are camping should bring plenty of layers as the overnight temps are getting down pretty low. That said be sure to bring a raincoat / sunscreen etc as the weather could be anything during the day

So my car is finally ready apart from mounting my 6 point harness.

The two shoulder straps I was planning on crossing over each other and mounting them on my cage but can I mount the two crutch straps and waist straps where the seat rail bolts to the body of the car or is there a better way of doing it? I haven't sat the harness in to look at it yet so some tips on fitting it would be awesome.

[ian]

it is better if you mount them through the floor
with a plate on the underside , if they are on an angle and something happened
it would bring tears to your eyes
post up a piccy to give us a better idea

[Just1n_mc]

Can we park our cars and trailers where we camp? I'm thinking of sleeping in the cruiser rather than a tent.

[ian]

you sook justin
i am bringing a tent that can sleep eight
i should be there fri afternoon about 3;oopm
when are you coming up
all packed and ready

[timbosaurus]

Nice one Ian. We plan to meet up with dazza at the servo at 12:30 (but he doesn't know that yet). So should be up there at around 3 as well.

[shornesheep]

I wish I knew when I was going to be ready
damn I hate last minute

[ian]

i have had 12 months to get ready ,and i bet that i will still forget to bring something

[Silly Rabbit]

Hasn't last minute been happening for the last 6 weeks Van??...best of luck in getting it all sorted and stop writing messages and get back out into the shed!

I'll be at Kalkallo at 12-12.30 tomorrow so fingers crossed everyone gets everything sorted and we all have a top weekend.
