A week late I know but it's pissing down now unlike last Saturday when it was roasting Image. Many thanks to Mac for hosting again and it was great to meet you all again or 1st time. Great banter as usual , sorry I lost some of you on way home but I engaged Warp drive on the M2 and thought I was being followed...sorry Southwind Image all the best lads..

No worries Kev, impulse drive is fast enough for me. At warp I tend to see double and fall off.. Anyway, isn’t you’re speedo out?

Good to meet you and the crowd too. Image

Yes, I saw the split linkage arm. Nasty!
The spring's definitely too hard, despite the pies & pints. That's why I was going to reduce the pre-load if possible. It'd be a stop gap as I've spent fortunes recently & can't stretch to a new spring just now.

Regards what I'll find when I strip the rear, I'll have to play it by ear/sight/feel as I don't want to immobilise it while I wait for parts.

Will certainly go the grease nipple route though.

I'm torn.

Meanwhile a few months later, only after several pestering emails, I finaly got the amount raised confirmed...

£102.31.

So thank you to all who dipped into their pockets.

That should keep it in the air for a few more minuets...I'm sure that will cover a couple of litres of Av Gas... :lol: :lol:

But as a large mulitnational food retailer keeps telling us 'every little helps.' *

*even if they arn't the cheapest around...
