I'm thinking about getting the exact same engine from Steve.
Will yours be powered by either a megajolt or megasquirt system?

Anyways, keep the posts coming *wink*

While doing the engine I thought I would make the bulkhead box abit deeper at the back of the carb because it only had about 2mm clearance.

Wow looks really nice that lot! Unfortunately I didn't get the minimag with your van in. What was the previous spec? Also loved your previous install. Worked really well and neat, see you've been shopping at dsn Aswell. Looked through there list of parts and pretty much wanted all of it! Ha. Looking forward to seeing it in. You got any power figures in mind or is that a sectret? :)

Before spec was of a 1380 t3 morspeed job which I'm going to let Benross have a look at it because it was shxt
Yes dsn cost me 300 by the time I got to the bottom which is not good. I want or would love to see 200 but I don't think it will get there so maybe 180 fingers crossed and everything else that will cross *happy*

So I hear, but I no someone who says mopped pads fit because he's fitted them in his and they cost half the price. Next time I see him I'll find out which bike and let you Know. I don't see him that often just when we meet at the mini club.

Just waiting for the rear swing arms cause they out of stock at the moment. I like the kad stuff just not their prices lol.

Did you get them turruts off exvalver the one's that are for 16valves cars lol.
