Need to track down some parts to get back on the road

Post by TOMSUN »

Guys
Need some help to track down the following parts to get the car back in the road.

I'd prefer to buy the follow parts new but if not second hand will be ok.

Drivers seatbelt (mines frayed)
Rocker cover oil cap seal or whole cap?
Dip stick (seal on mine is hard/cracked/stuffed)?
Recommendation for brake fluid DOT4 (good quality for track without stupid price tag)?
Bonnet latch?

Thanks
Pete

I've used Castrol Super Response dot 4 for my track bike, its got a reasonable boiling point of 286 degrees and is cheap. I just make sure I replace it regularly. I believe its called react dot 4 now but is the same product.

yeah iirc from the brake upgrade pdf by cookie and merlin, the castrol super resonse/react dot 4 is the best of the cheap ones.

Next one up on the cookie/merlin list was (again iirc) the motul one which is 30-40 dollars for a 500ml bottle. I don't remember how much better it was, but I don't think it was that much to justify the 3-4x price.. I would say try out the castrol one and then switch to the expensive stuff if you find you're boiling it when on the track?
