Hi all

I have been looking for a bec for a few months now, and trying to find one that ticks the boxes i was after and in good condition was hard.

But I am the proud owner of a aries locoblade that is as new condition and a vvv good spec list.

I will post some pics up over the next few days

thanks
ian

I'm looking forward to see your pics of another Aries Locoblade, which blade engine is it?

If you haven't yet spoken to Steve @ Aries you should as he's a top guy and always there to help

Cheers
Iain

Welcome to the Aries club! I'm eager to see the pictures.

Steve @ Aries is a great guy, I second Iain on that! And I'm sure anyone else that has had dealings with him will agree!

Have fun!

Nice car... If you see a Black Harley Davidson wave at you around Cambridge... Thats me.. I sold the Viento and bought a bike.
I'm ticking things off my bucket list, done V8 Sports Car, now its Bike (after a 40 year break from Bikes)

SG7 club meet just south of Baldock, a nice run out on a Sunday morning. ie not too far etc etc.
Keep an eye on the CLUBS & EVENTS section on here.
Just watch the Speed Cams on the A505 though!

I have done abit of tinkering today.

--I have moved the speed sensor for the digi dash from the mud gard fixings, to a alloy bracket that i have made that bolts to the hub.

--the magnets are stuck to the brake disc now and not the alloy wheel, so hopefully i wont have them getting knocked off when i go over a bump.

--I also put some stronger springs on the accelerator pedal, as it was far to soft for me. now it feels better for my big feet lol

-- fitted a tax disc tube holder


Ian Jones - 27/2/13 at 05:58 PM

here are the stronger springs i fitted, as i like a stiff one ooorrrrr



the bracket i made to hold the sensor for the digi dash




I got stormforce cover to keep her dry until the shelter is built
