Re: [DMCForum] Re: Jacking points? (Martin G)

Still don't see your point - what's wrong with using the jacking points? 
Ever known a DeLorean break as a result? Or have you just decided that 
it's a bad idea based on your own extensive experience with structural 
composites?

The tow-hook isn't connected to the fibreglass so don't talk nonsense.

Re tractor pull - Land Rover Defenders aren't made of fibreglass, and 
with a Defender TDi with low ratio box, your ass is grass and I'm going 
to mow it.

Incidentally, There's a new Rover (not landrover) out which uses an 
american lump in it. Our very respected Top Gear presenter joked that it 
looked like it was made from a combination of volcanic rock and 
pig-iron, and pointed out that it has less power per unit volume than a 
Daewoo matiz. Don't like lazy american lumps over here.

On a lighter note, took apart my 25 turbo engine last night - pistons 
and bores look healthy, identified the sensors that are missing (due to 
being mounted to the engine bay and not the engine), already got my 30 
box at the rebuilders together with a bulletproof input coupler from 
Toby. Now discovered (thanks to projectdelorean.com) that I need a 
bellhousing from a 25 so I can mount the ignition trigger sensor. 
Luckily the engine still has the flywheel.
