Great work there as always Andy and beer too

I like the look of the pressed holes, what did you use for that? I remeber when you cut them out you said you needd to get the press part to finish them.

Spot on work on the motor as usual mate, really looking forward to getting something done on mine in the near future.
Got my garage home now and hopefully get the base laid for it in a couple of weeks then it's full steam ahead on the P100.
