Thanks for the info on converting my timing cover.
The Ebay one went for a whopping £240 in the end - far too rich for me.
There's a chance of a swap with another forumee for a Comet part, but if that doesn't work out I will follow your advice and modify the twin cover for now.
I was hoping to be able to report plenty of progress following the weekend, but I found on Saturday morning my lock up had been broken into, fortunately nothing was taken and they closed the door behind them. They had tried to steal my other bike, but gave up as soon as they rolled it off its stand and found it was chained up – no damage thank god.
Anyway, bikes and tools are now moved to a more secure location, all locks replaced and extra fortifications installed for what’s left, but another weekend lost.
I should have known when I made that comment about making a section meet I'd be regaled with tales of 14 day hikes across the Andes for the weekly Bogata meeting... ;-)
Maybe I should have added, I work... an awful lot (I was still here at 10pm on Friday) and I have a 50 minute commute anyway – I’ll stop there as I’m just making excuses now...
I will make it, and hopefully this week... thanks for that warm welcome Eddie, I’m looking forward to meeting you all asap.
I’ve been on the web site (excellent btw), so I have some directions thanks.
I was actually on my way last Friday, until SHTF at 5.00pm - as it often seems to do here!..
It would be great to be included on the email list too – I’ll PM you about it now.
Bye for now,
Mike
