[QUOTE="Simon Leake, post: 115604, member: 4392"] OK everyone. I'll try to answer all your questions. There is no Mercury scroll but I have just ordered one from VOC parts. I am thinking of spraying all the (cursed) alloy in this new "ceramic" coating everyone talks about but Dutchy from Wollongong did a great job on the paintwork. It is 1200cc using TPV top ends but tuned down. My intension is not to race it but some future owner could tune it up again, hence the good story. We did increase the gap between the tyre and the mudguard, you were right, even little stones got caught. It's still a virgin, running but not yet ridden. I was going to ride it tonight but there's bushfires and it's currently 41 degC. I guess the oil will already be thin!! Terry Prince has been through Hell. 6 weeks of constant bushfire danger. He's safe now and back at work on several engines but needs your help. Spread the word about his absolutely incredible alloy billet frame. It's the greatest Vincent innovation since 1954, Egli included. And way better than the materials Phil had to work with in the aftermath of the greatest war the world has ever seen. [/QUOTE]
