Well finally Arnie is back on the road -- picked her up yesterday -- and the result is that I'm very very happy with how it's all turned out. I've driven about 150 miles over the past two days, mainly with a view to bedding in the brakes, and I couldn't be happier with how she's driving.

But don't let anyone kid you that this is a straightforward plug-in exercise -- it isn't!

Pete was in a rush yesterday to go off-shore fishing so I didn't have time to collect the photos he's taken along the way. I'll do that this week and also try to get him to sit down and go through the whole process with me so that I can post something meaningful for you.

In a nutshell, Arnie now goes where she's pointed, the steering is well weighted and a lot quicker than with the old MGB rack, it now self-centres, there's no trace of the initial dreaded slop at straight-ahead and the binding in the steering has gone. The brakes are an improvement on the originals and will continue to improve as the pads and rotors get to know one another better.

More later. Going for another drive now. Sooooo good!
