Provided you know the TPS is working, you'd be as well just doing it by feel, IMO.

Tweak, drive, tweak, drive...

Try adjusting it at the Gairloch meet where fellow bongonaughts can see what you are up to. Also there are a lot of bongo's to tow you home should anything go wrong. :lol:

Ermmm. It was an attempt at humour, since the original post was in a similar vein? if we're going to get serious, my preference would be to put the effing thing on a flatbed trailer :lol: :lol: :lol:
