OOOh, inadvertent
So I name the corner Kallenhard. Stay off the grass folks!!!!
I got it from Demon Tweeks. there's the main body of the cg lock, a small allen key, 4 screws (2 long and 2 short, you choose depending on the seatbelt tongue thickness) and a gripper plate and some instructions. I'm just trying to get hold of their customer services now.
However it does work, so what I might do if I don't get a speedy resolution is use the fix all: duct tape. There is nothing that it cannot do.
However I want my screws!

According to their website, it should contain 4 screws (2 long, 2 short), an allen key and several bits of metal that make up the device.
Krazik - are you able to confirm whether you can bring over 7 sets (IIRC) with you?

ben do you actually count your ring laps.. i.e. is the 140 the actual number of driven laps..
I already lost count.. and I know it's less than 30..

Kobe - yep, that the total number of laps I've driven a car around the Ring. I checked my records and its actually 141 but I can't be arsed to change it yet!
If you count the number of passenger laps, then I'm probably over 200 all-in, but that's cheating! : )
ctrlaltdelboy - cheers for the reminder re Franks. I think most people are pretty sorted but Alex may yet be convinceable!
We will, of course, hoist a beer in your honour!

@ Krazik: Maybe is better than nothing. I don't if you know what you are facing but many experienced drivers have already crashed at the ring even after hundreds of laps.
I have a huuuge respect of the ring.
My last lap I did in the S was back in 2003 and I did run it in something shrtly under 09:00.
So ever since I swore not to go back to the ring with the S because I always try to be faster and that would definitely kill me.
Even if I say I go slowly...I can't.
My last and olny race on the ring was last year in a toyota Yaris race car.
11:16 including the F1 track...and I was happy after 1 1/2 hours to be back safely caus eI nearly got off the track 2 times.
So please understand if I have some "fear" to let someone else drive my car on the ring even tough I can imagine that you are a good driver looking at you results.

it's really hard to just to drive around at 50% speed.. you get sucked into driving faster..

First Lap ever I was telling my passenger I would go slowly, then I was passed by and 964...so I though just follow him.
So at Adenauer Forst he was slowing down and I doubled him...consequence...my tyres got to know the grass patch after the first 90 deg left
All in total I may have done 18 laps or something and only 5 with the S so I am still a beginner at Nordschleife.

this time I really will have to make it slow.. until I have some confidence in the car..
it has a completely new setup on the suspension and I have no idea what this will mean on the circuit.. a bit worried for bottoming out in the compressions with it being lower.
