Get some new ones delivered from Alyn or another supplier
to a garage down here and fit the new set on Wednesday.

If you need a garage there is one here..

That's a shame mate. Sure you'll be able to jump in for a few laps with the rest of us though

What's wrong with them? If they're roadworthy enough to drive to Germany, then you'll be able to drive it round for a slow lap at least, just to tick that box

You'll be fine on track.
The same advice as to all newbies. Drive it like an unknown road just in your case stay high on both karrusel.

Mine were corroded and seized, but I did two track days and about 10,000 miles on them like that.

It's a very very common problem with the BC's

I know what the garage has said, but they're just covering their backsides. They're just no longer height adjustable, doesn't mean they're unsafe.
