If it looks that well holding a door open, imagine what it will be like when it is fitted onto an engine.

Stew dropped the casting off to me this afternoon, and I am gobsmacked at how nice a job Rob has made of it just from looking at my scabby little C-0-C's. :bow: :bow: :bow:

It is now up to me to make a good job of finishing it off, eventually.

Who needs to go to the show to think that Christmas has come early.

Oh!, I nearly forgot, my thanks also go to Dave Bluechip for the most welcome screw in contact points, only a few months late (and we all know who's fault that was, don't we Rob). :lol: :lol:

 Nice to meet the modders that i did yesterday, didnt get to speak to all. but enjoyed thet chats i had, nice to see some faces. Show was good not been for 2yrs i didnt leave till 4.30 and was in at 10 knees not working so well today (waiting for new knee joints mmmm could perhaps get them done on here) resisted the temptation to spend too much. I was going to post some pics but dont seenm to be able to, i have a folder of resized pics which i have tried to paste into this page but the paste facility is greyed out. am i doing something wrong here? have read the various threads on posting pics but not having any joy, a point in the right direction would be appreciated, thanks

easiest way would be to get a photobucket account or what they are called if on your side of the pond if they are different than this side. Then copy the img and past in the post.

Just like to say a big thank you to all of you who went to the trouble of taking and posting your photos.

Too far for a day trip for me, this way I can see what going on. :D

Thanks guys

I have a few modest talents. Knowing what I'm doing isn't one of them.

Some more from the same source.

Rather nice looking V-Twin with a Cross Rotary Valve.

Should really be valves, as there are two cylinders ...  :scratch:

Edit post might improve with a link ???
