Good advice. But I have a long-standing back issue and walking over the gunwhale from the centre board into the boat defeated me. I sold it. My creaky back wasn't in tune with it.

That's why I did the vid. I was replacing a lower fulcrum and the previous owner had assembled it wrongly. It just didn't look right. Some diagrams are plain wrong.

True. No one needs swamp rat tyres and V8s

Isadora Duncan's lesser known sister. I just filmed. I have no authority.

Get an electric carving knife and shave the back off the rubber block. The ones available now are thicker than many of the originals. When they changed to a thicker block they made a slight recess in the bulkhead to accommodate it. That makes it almost impossible to get the unit in. Cut it like this (if the image shows) i.postimg.cc/jjK6LrHL/heater-plenum-Rubber-cutting.jpg

sorry, thats not allowed, And you'd never be able to turn the cars in thier own space, They use fiddle brakes on the rear wheels

Up to 1650cc. Mostly Honda or Suzuki. No LSD. Road tyres (from a specific list).

Momentum is an important factor, but achieving momentum and going in the right direction can be strangers. Grip to get some speed over the ground is not a given. The Clerk of the Course will lay the Hill to confound drivers. Have a look @ruclips.net/p/PLw7vwJr_aeckjB_bM2G2-vhSOh3TcCicE. Most videos feature National BTRDA Champions.

@@jamesalexander4203 Thanks for the reply...I looked it up!

Thank you 🤗

The regs limit you to up to 1650cc four strokes. They mainly run LPG (which is good for torque and are very low geared. The overall engine revs to rear wheel revs ratio as around 20:1 or even lower. Most people use alloy engines (less weight at the front) and Honda, Suzuki and Triumph Acclaim (Honda in disguise) are favourites. Rover K Series work well.

Yes it does. Helped Bryan Walker win the BTRDA Gold Star event.

pickups are as rare as rocking horse shit. They were commercial vehicles and most just rotted away. That one has a 1340cc engine and was nicely restored. About £15-18K I would think. Mk 11 Escorts also rare and restored over £20K, possibly £30K depending on spec and any history.

But woolly hats

Helmets are not required as this is not a Speed Event . MSUK rules. Nothing to stop you wearing one.

A cloth cap and a thick head, replaces the helmet

It turned out to be a badly fitted piston which the prevoius owner had put in after a dropped valve. The press-fit gudgen pin was not central and they had tried to drift it back with a punch which had damaged the new piston. I had to fit a new piston and rod, which solved the noise. The piston was properly fitted to the rod by a specialist using a press and a jig.

Masks because during the pandemic that is the only way the events could be run. No helmets because the MSUK does not require them. It is not a Speed Event. Nothing to stop you wearing one. Many people do.

I am having issue with the rubber seal. Seems stiff and too thick to get the housing in the opening.

@@Stubby0266 The rubber block is actually not required. I did fit it but shaved off some of the bottom edge and the back (with an electric carving knife). Later cars have a depression in the bulkhead the block fits into and only that rubber block seems available, so needs trimming.

Sporting Trials cars. Watch the rest of my channel. They are built to strict regulations. Very difficult to drive on the surfaces offered.

Not that many manage.

@@foleybrown , so what are these cars actually called? I mean there's rock crawlers, there's monster 4×4's and all sorts of other crazy car and 4×4 things. What are these cars actually called, and what is this kind of racing or competition actually called too?

No. It would be more dangerous. The course would have to be steeper with more chance of accidents. The whole idea is to get further up the hill over a series of hills than anyone else. Just making everyone able to get to the top is not a challenge. It isn't a spectator sport. It's about subtlety of throttle control. ruclips.net/video/cO3YHg-0DC4/видео.html

thats the point though low power low traction 2wd hill climb been done this way for years why change the class

Mate some of them looked like they are open diff so what would tires do anyway?. But just guessing this is only a bunch of blokes keeping a tradition alive.

@@riamriam6758 more a traditional sport I would think they are not trying to build 4wd 800 hp paddle tire hill climbers lol

The spare is a requirement in the rules. It shifts some weight to the back of the car and yes, they often get used. The tyres on the car are usually inflated to between 3 to 5psi. So they get ripped off the rims and puncture easily.
