[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 55152, member: 597"] The Horner brothers have just ran their ex Bob Williams Rapide/ racer for the first time too. They are taking it to Goodwood for the event you have over there. I will be interested to see how it goes. It looks more like a standard Lightning than mine, but with the original alloy engine, not painted. Ours was already painted, and even once I stripped it back, the primmer was too difficult to remove, so I just repainted it in Black Dupont 2 pac eurothane.....or however you spell it..? Makes it very tough, to resist oil and fuel.....Trust me I've had a couple of descent leaks from those Amals, tiny particles of muck in the fuel...so now I am running fuel filters until it's all gone..I also ran with 5 thou on the pistons, and the pushbutton decompressors work very well, just helps the crank on the first couple of rotations......Greg.
