          Dave, the exhaust clamp is a work of art ! After just scratching the head and doing that job its great you managed it with standard shield plate, I had to move mine up 20mm or so.


          Love the JD coil cover, we use Irn bru ones here, ask Jim Fraser

                          Keep them coming i love them.

                          You are kind of the opposite of John and Jim, they buy lots of new bits, find out these are wrong, throw them in the bin, buy some more and so on.......
