Yeap, definitely recognize that part. Forgot the website address, but it costs a lot of money, something bianchi . com or whatever.

Found it:

But the adjustment method is not exactly the same as yours. The Bianchi Kopp uses the thread of a bolt to hold the adjuster in place while yours uses what looks to be a cam. You lock down the "cam" and hopefully the bar stays in place.

Looking at the stamp it's probably not a copy but the original Autodelta part.

I heard it was an origional autodelta bar but most people here dont recognise it . Cam realy works well and cannot slip. Worked well in a friends track only car for many years until he upgraded to coil overs. Anyway thanks for response. Was there ever an old catalogue from Autodelta ?

Mats and all others who can advise. I am racing this weekend and i have one tyre that is completely worn(left front) due to a particular track I practice on.It is a problem all drivers have on this circuit even in the factory teams. My race this weekend is on a more 'balanced' circuit but I have to by new tyres. The back tyres are great so I will buy two new ones. Do I put the new ones on the front or back ?

Front. The ones that are worn now are the front one so obviously they wear faster... :wink:
I like to have good front end grip for steering and braking too.

Thanks Mats. Reason why i asked this was I did this last time and had major understeer so put the new ones at the back and had major over steer. This obviously did not make sense. I called one of the chaps today from Bridgestone in there racing division and it was interesting to learn you have to run a set of tyres in for a few laps at 75% then let them cool down totally(could be half the day), then they are ready to work at there optimin. I think its just to get a heat cycle through them first.
Also heard from Bridgestone that the Swedes have just done a study that if you put a new pair of tyres on a road car , they should go on the rear because this gives your car its tracking in wet weather. Never thought about that but makes sense.Have you heard or seen of such a study?

That advice has been in our text books for learning to drive for probably 30 years and is a favourite "mantra" for the safety/boring motor journalists.
So yeah, I've heard about it. :)

So far the 'budget race' has done very well this season. I have not upgraded with bigger brakes yet but that will come when i put the 24v motor(not budget car any more). The changes coming into todays race was AP600 brake fluid and special race pads that a supplier made for me here. Definately to noisy for road but absolutely brilliant on the track(just incase anyone wanted them for road as well.) Bottom line , the car is really competitive and precise to drive. Two pics to follow, one of the pits today and the of the new transplant engine.
