Thanks guys. Feked wasn’t on my radar, I don’t think I’ve used them before. I’ll just go with the bronze then. Chris at Autocycle Eng was trying to tell me that steel were getting used more now, maybe he was getting confused with iron heads ?
Cheers

Re: Selling Bikes, best methods.
If you need to share details with another eBay user, one cheat method is to use the facility to send a pic with the message. Take a snap of your phone number on a piece of paper and send that with your message. I did it last week purchasing a sailing dinghy and we then spoke ‘offline’. After I’d ins...

Bias Washer article in Cheval
Just to back up the feature in this months Cheval on bias washers, I bought one recently ( after a suggestion by Tony Cooper ) as a last resort to cure a richer mixture on one pot on a Monobloc’d Triumph twin.

Re: AUCTION : Bonhams auction at the Stafford Show on October 15/16th

Numbers query on 37 VH
Is it possible to have a genuine 37 VH , with an XF frame and CD engine ? CD is down as 38 in the charts I’m looking at, but I know there can be crossovers occasionally..
