Default Well done !

Thanks again Ben and what a fine example of international co-operation this has proven to be. Should be more of it I say...

Cheers

Phill

I have the first batch of parts from the foundry, I hope to pick the balance up later this week. Once I've got them all I'll take them to get machined !!!! I'll update all those who have ordered pintles with delivery details once they're done, not long now!!

Also I picked up the fuel tank vent castings, drain casting, both in brass and the cable covers in steel. anybody wanting these please contact me via PM.
The drain and cable cover are £8 each the vents are £6 each as raw castings. The drain has part number TL2823 and the manufacturer JT&S (who's this) The vent is marked TL 3330. They work out well, my new tank using these parts should be ready in a few days, I'll post pictures once it gets here.

Thank you all for those who helped keep the cost down by placing an order. with some luck I hope to have the pick axe head mounting block from the rear tool plate soon. If you think you want one let me know.

Cheers

Ben

I've just collected the pintles from the machinist. I'll sort them out and start to box them up over the weekend.

If you're on the list I'll be in touch to arrange delivery soon.

Shaun I've tried to contact you but had no luck, can you drop me an email please.

Thanks

Ben
