The Off Season
I really haven't done a lot so far this off season. I've drained all the fluids, inspected most of the chassis, and prepared a list of things I need to buy for next season. I'll buy as much a possible locally, but some will have to be mail/internet order. I did discover the (probable) root cause of my problems with right front brake rotor screws loosening - the mounting area of the rotor wasn't flat, so even witht he rotor running nearly true and the screws all tight, it would loosen the screws. I filed it flat and we'll see if that fixes it finally.
Right now, I know I have to get mirrors, brake pads, replace the rear brake hose with an AN3 hose instead of the nylon line there now, and of course tires. I also need to complete the repairs of the crash damage - the fiberglass work is finished, but I need to repace a part of the belly pan and bend the frame back to place. I'd like to replace the upper chassis bar with what the newer Quadrini cars have, but I may run out of time; that would give my arms more room to move.
