Thanks Marlon.
Shame I missed you Zeld. I think we are going to try and do the Oxford meet the last Wednesday of every month. But I won't be there this month or next probably!!

It’s running quite well. The new gearbox is in and working. It needs a different final drive. And there is a small issue with the PAS system apart from that all good. I will grab some pictures tomorrow if i remember.
