Looks like you found a really good example mate, vary last of them too! (Hreg)

i cant find the bolts for the top of the metering unit
I did find some a while a go mate, i will go through my bookmarks and see if i still have it. Do a google for zinc platers as they will zinc plate them all to look like your dizzy cap/engine lifting eye and strut tops.

No, that's the Twin's Dave & Stu. This ones all mine. I will admit though, I did draw inspiration from theirs.





I'll see if I can get some pics on Sunday of how it is now with the loom etc all in.

Antti O - I love it, nice spec sheet too! Would love to get mine to that stage of tidyness and power. Nice 1!

Muz, the tubular on yours looks cool! As do the Yellow Brembo's in your Sig!

Twin's bay is awesome, i must find time to look through the re-build thread of his!
