[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 106442, member: 60"] Mr Abraham was next door to Ben and I so I had a lot of time to look If you look closely you will notice something else the rear cylinder head is reversed which is why the rear carb comes out where it does and the exhaust exits at the rear low down. The heads look different I thought they were Tomos four valve recreation of Irvings drawings but as Eddie says they were top end of valve operated interesting to note how much higher that makes an engine no wonder the conventional guys go for 90 degrees and a long engine and how clever of PVC to keep the height down to build a 50deg compact twin We were not with the Vincent Comet the ACU ban on Girdraulics still applies there was just one bike in the upto 48 class a Velo and it had the 1970 Egli Vincent for company as for the Girder fork championship, dear old Merve the swerve (Rudge) lead a bevy of old Velos so much for the ACU attempt to improve things -but as Merve said he gets some prize money out of it so at least someone benefits. Ben and his mate Stacey both on Bens identical flying bricks had a fine weekend getting firsts and second each on Saturday and 2 firsts a second and a third on Sunday and getting the course record.
