[QUOTE="david bowen, post: 105916, member: 799"] IN 1949 Vincents had about 150 in stock all with HRD crankcase and inspection caps all covered in travel waxes, John Surtees and I had the job of grinding the HRD of the crankcases, we had air driven hand grinders, ,and changing the Inspection to plane ones once the HRD was ground of, the UFM was not taken off so some of the customers still had 2 HRD caps under the UFM, the only luck the company had gas tanks and seats had not been fitted. I can still see the mess alloy dust stuck to the travel wax, [/QUOTE]
