[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 83039, member: 456"] Ok chaps, sorry for the delays but I am now sending out the last few of the orders for the last batch of 30. It is already clear that there will have to be another batch of at least ten so I will be asking people to declare an interest in the next few days/weeks. In the short term, and to ensure all those who have waited so patiently for so long get theirs first I have to ask some questions. First, will the chap who wanted a special steering stem made to fit the [B][U]VOC Spares Company taper roller conversion[/U][/B] contact me again. I have your special here but cannot find the original correspondence so do not know who you are. Secondly there are several people who I have emailed recently to let them know that the parts are ready who have not replied. If you are waiting and have not looked at your emails for some time now is the time to let me know. If you have changed your mind due to the long delay then that is not a problem as there are enough people waiting but it would be good to know so that I can sell on the parts already made. If anyone is likely to be able to get a message through to Stu Spalding then would you please get him to contact me or send me a message via an intermediary. I know about his accident and that he is in a nursing home and I have emailed him, via the Forum, to let him know that there is absolutely no pressure to take his parts or to pay any money at present but it would be good to know how he feels about doing the modification in the future. It is probably worth saying that I have now had seven of the lower links opened up and have assembled three of them, including Stu's 22 thou out of line one. The good news is that when assembled there is no trace of stiffness or unwillingness to swing totally freely. In fact taking one of these to the local Vincent section club night a few weeks ago so impressed one of those present that he ordered one of the next batch immediately. Incidentally it was Stu's brand new steering head which was out of line and separate private correspondence has shown that it was obtained from the VOSSC relatively recently. 22 thou out of line chaps!!:(:(:( Finally, I have expressions of interest for at least three modified steering heads to be made in aluminium alloy. If these are made at the same time as the steel ones then there is likely to be very little difference in price. If you are interested in these then please let me know. [/QUOTE]
