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!

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..
