[QUOTE="MarBl, post: 127719, member: 4437"] Having read and used your extensive documentation about the restoration of Lucas Magnetos, I would find a similar description of a Vincent Twin restoration tremendously helpful. Having dis- and reassembled a Rapide this summer, I often had to spend more time searching for an information than reading and using it. Of course it is all out there somewhere in the already very helpful books and the forum, but a Haynes Manual-like step by step documentation with a lot of high quality pictures would have saved me a lot of time. Mikes Videos have been of great help too, since they delivered many of the pictures to illustrate the sometimes difficult to understand descriptions in the books. Actually they have been my main motivation to go for a Vincent at last, after I considered it for a long time, not being sure, what complexity (and fun) to expect from working on one. A dedicated website for a detailed restoration would be a very good thing. You might even consider to present your other material there as well, since it also took me some time to find your magento restoration guide. Such gems get easily lost in a forum. [/QUOTE]
