Re: best wishes for 2024 !

I'm able to see the Edinburgh fireworks from my lounge. The weather tonight is clear and cold which is a nice change and perfect for the occasion.
Happy New Year everyone.

Re: Lots of white smoke - W/NG

On the later engines with enclosed pushrod tubes I've had real problems with oversize rubbers further swelling and crippling the pushrods as well as flooding the top e...

Re: VH 500 1957 /Watsonian Monza Mk1 combo

The previous owner had fitted a copper gasket to make up the difference. Being me, I removed the barrel and milled the top of the barrel to give the lin...
