I tried to find this thread, and after a lot of searching, I finally found it under the "Projects..." sub-forum. :wacko: This to me seems like an odd place to put it. Any chance we could have it moved to the "Bicycle Mechanics & Repairs" sub-forum? In my opinion, it makes far more sense to put it there.
If it can't be done, no big deal: it's just a very minor request.

Regards & thanks,
--- Victor.

Mod Note:
Thanks to bringing this up to the attention of the mods team @Shut Up Legs, Victor.
We have decided to leave it where it is, reason being that the thread contains non bike related fettling.
May I bring to the attention of the membership a new forum feature?

I’ve been preparing for some minor GRP work on the TVR
The seats are only bolted through the fibreglass floor and sit on a penny washer to spread the load. The rear/outer bolt of my seat has punched the penny washer through the floor.
The GRP isn’t very strong where the rear bolts fit, and the outside seems particularly weak.
I’ve prepped both bolt holes and cut the matt and steel mat I’m using to strengthen both bolt holes.

wrong thread
 
I managed to build this Raleigh Record Ace frame up yesterday from spare parts and robbing some bits off my other bikes .
I took it for a test ride later and found that it rode really well apart from a slipping gear lever. It kept changing into top gear.
