I still haven't finished the carbs - I got one rebuilt but the other still needs to be done!

The MoT was passed today, all it needed was a new track rod end. Result!

They are pretty neat and must save quite a bit of time.

They are fantastic. Mines twice as big as this one on here, and i still wish it was much bigger.

I dropped off my set of "78-dated" Sprint wheels at Spit and Polish in Kent last week. Very excited :mrgreen:

I'm afraid to say she's thrown a strop again after bursting the seals on the clutch slave cylinder over Tower Bridge! I can't for the life of me get the system fully bled properly so is off to Mr Tilson to work his magic!

I do have a lot of updates and photos to catch up on, so stay tuned..
