The link actually goes to the site of David and Philip Woods. David has just refurbished the Chronometric speedo for my Red Hunter at a very fair price and a very fast turnaround. As a bonus he has recalibrated it so it will read correctly with the PA ratio gears thus saving me either changing the l...

Hi Paul,
thanks for the reassurance, I will blank it off until one turns up as none of the usual sourcers seem to have any.

Good point, Bob. If it is a straight through breather that will be doable even for me. However a close look at the 1939 parts book shows a reference to a ring and a ball for "valve in elbow union" which implies there may be some non return valve internally in the breather which would proba...

Thanks Dave and Alan for the prompt and helpful replies. It's good to know I have the correct part. It looks like the breather (part number 2100-33) may be a problem as Draganfly don't do it and it isn't listed by the Club Spares Scheme or by John Budgen.

It's an interesting challenge as some of the work has been done very well but some parts have clearly been thrown on to make it more saleable. Basically I'm disassembling pretty much everything to check it's corre...

Must be either an individual wor...

Hi Andrew thanks for replying. I am sorted now as I found a lever that does a perfect job and looks pretty much identical in a box in the corner of my workshop! I still have the petrol tap available if you need it - would prefer to swap for other bits I need - I will PM you with my phone number. che...

I think someone said the messages stay in the outbox until they get read - they don't get sent as such.... (So it's not like Windoze..... :D ) SG That's how it works on the VMCC Forum which I have used a lot. The OP of this thread can't be logging in and reading his messages. I am now sorted for a ...

Nope - only one message in there and I have successfuly sent one since - I guess he's sold it or no longer active on the Forum.

I sent a PM over a week ago but it's still sitting in my outbox so don't hold your breath!
