Hello Arthur.
The straps are to keep the supercharger on the engine if a major backfire occurs in the manifold due to dropping an intake valve or running out of fuel with the pedal down etc. Its all part of the rules now combined with a burst panel at the front of the manifold and aluminium studs to bolt the blower down.The idea is for the burst panel to open and release the pressure and if the backfire is a big one the ally studs will shear allowing the blower to lift and release the pressure. the straps should be the correct length so that the blower can only lift as little as possible. There are rules about the straps being too long because if the blower lifts too high then the fuel lines going to the barrell valve will be ripped off usually causing a fire-- not good if you're sat behind the motor!!

Hope this helps
Norm.

Thanks Norm Just shows how far safety has come hey? and how far behind I am.
Cheers
Arthur

It's touch and go at the moment.......Herb is driving up here tonight and we will work on it all weekend and see where we are on monday. The "big box"arrived a month ago and its been highs and lows ever since..... How would you like to spend over £60 on one earls fitting without which the car cant run!!!!! 80 mile round trip yesterday to collect a part which had got"lost" over the pond!! Thanks to
Stu Bradbury at US Automotive
Fay at Speedflow
Steve Clark at Nimbus
for going the extra mile to get us this far

We may get the car ready but the truck needs parts to arrive, time to fit them and an MOT before next thursday!!
What we need is a "South Wales" MOT- AKA a Tonypandy Ticket--- the one you fill in the details yourself!!!!

Update on Monday

Looking forward to it Norm as you are on my list for Saturday's Flagstalgia.

[Flying Phil]

Hope you can make it Norm - why is it always a last minute rush for us to get to these events???

[Stormin Norm]

Muddy.
As i nearly ran you over at the HRD cacklefest- HOW am i gonna see a flag start????? remember forward vision is almost nil

Phil,
I'm getting too old for this last minute rushing around but there is a very big reason for us being in this position---IF we make it come round our pit and i will show you why----you will not see from the stands or walking by
