Exclamation Check for this next time you are underneath you motor !

Had my car up on the ramp this morning for an Inspection prior to a new Geo. This 8mm bolt in the triangular bracing was sheared. This fault will not apply to a lot of you as it is a very rare occurence, usually associated with drivers looking for sub 8 minute laps of the Ring, and spirited driving at all other times !












I am neither of the above !!!

Appreciate the input JT.Whats its real function then John? Would you recommend keeping it in place on a road car? Also, Shimmy is bound to ask how heavy it is so that he can recalculate all his lap times if he takes his off !
