Default Amazing Colin!

During WW2 we could have done without all the other contractors to build the 5,000 plus carriers and just employed you I reckon!

Default Fuel tank brackets.

Looking good Colin.
Have you found a supplier for the felt packing on the fuel tank brackets?

Hi all, the first one is going and driving well and I've just done a valve lap and descale on the engine for the second carrier.This is an engine out of a Jailbar and by the looks of it, I think it has been done up before. Even the engine oil was still clean and unpoluted. This one has the crab dizzy which is a good thing.
