Just a quick one please.

Anyone know where i can get a new spring for the accelerator cable, or which other one will fit? The one on the D/S bank has broke. (revs up as if its a motorbike now tho so thinking of leaving it!).
Also the small rubber bonnet stops are missing from the panel that covers the back of the engine on mine....Any ideas where there from?

Cheers in advance guys!

Don't leave it off, it's there for a reason, throttles sticking open at WOT isn't funny!

Here's what's left of an AJP piston when throttles stick open and the engine is allowed to rev to 14.500!

yikes 14k5 rpm yikes out of interest are the peak revs recorded by the ECU or something confused. What else was bent confused.
I understood that valve meets piston around 10k5 rpm. Normally seen and associated with the race engine pilots engaging a lower gear a bit too early coming down the box rolleyes.
