The Don Kennedy Files

Almost worthy of its own section - but this information, donated to the RSSOC by Don covers a number of repairs and improvements Don carried out on his GTE.

Already at the bottom of this section Phil (viewtopic.php?nomobile=1&f=32&t=4753) - but that's a much better title :-)

Hi does anyone know where these have gone? The link is dead to me now but was fine just the other day. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers

I suspect they are still to be moved to the new server (there was a move of everything which commenced Thursday). I think there's the same issue with the NE Noggin pages with the wiring diagrams.

There's a lot of information to be moved over - hopefully Ian will let us know when it's all complete.

Apart from the NE noggin site I think the Topic notifications may not be working at the moment as well.

The GTC register Site that I transferred to ScimWeb has disappeared too http://www.scimitarweb.co.uk/~gtcregistrar/ .

I may have a backup if it's been lost.

I have not - just looked at it as I saw Corky had added to the conversation.

Brilliant, well done!

I want to try the ball jointed gear linkage that DK wrote up in such detail. Just waiting until my driveway is dry enough for spending a few hours under the Scim.
