The engine is sitting on my bench, tore down as far as it needs.
Needs a good cleaning now and a parts ordering spree that'll make a rich man blush... :wink2:
Basement is done... 'cept for the aftermath. Soon as I get that sorted, I'll be back to work on it.

Good old British Midlands engineering for you……
As one Brummie mechanic said to another over a cup of tea during a weekly work strike ‘Fookin’ ‘ell Eddie if it goes oop an‘ down the bloody tube it’s good by me‘ And so the birth (demise) of British Industry precision was born.

Well, just this week I tried... again... to take the forks apart. Again... no joy. :mad::banghead:
I'll put up a blurb about what's up, what I've tried in the next week or so.

“Fookin’ ‘ell Eddie, this Jim fella should join our fookin’ union. His work rate could stop product development. No need to go on strike then tha’nars. The Japs have no fookin’ chance mate”. Said the Brummie engineer, in the pub dribbling into his pint, to no one listening.
