Totally makes sense. And I appreciate your time and answers.

I did consider going efi, zvh, zetec etc, but i really wanted to stick with what was meant to be there so to speak, as im a sucker for old school. When I set out with this Series 2, I wanted to have a car that looked, feels, smells, sounds, and goes like they did in the 90's.
Im under no illusions the work need to keep the Bosch KE reliable, and I dont want to set any drag records, just a nice, clean weekend car with 200bhp.

Besides, everyone is going modern, thought Id break from the norm ...

Oh, and I paid £400 inc shipping, for 80.5mm with rings and pins. God bless the crappy euro
