Thanks Magman , they do seem to enjoy it .
The look on the testers face when you rolled in with Medusa had to have been priceless!
Well , tuesday was MOT day . Luckily it was not pouring down with a CAPITAL P, and all was well , found a slight brake light infraction , which turned out ,after i had just about dissemboweled the dash , to be a beak in the wire under the heat shrink next to a soldered joint down by the switch , so i crimped it .this took a long time to find . good news was the emissions were pretty good ... and to celebrate another year of mot'ness , i popped on my new name plates .. noicy noice noice ... i like em ! regards robert

The Crooked Billet is a posh eatery now so not really a pub any more. BTW car looks great, good that the gear thing was trivial. Indeedy , the maharajah of benares , i lived in stoke row for 20 odd years , nice woods ,,,pushed my bsa bantam around them for miles lol. played pool in the crooked billet a lot too . little bit done on the gearshift gizmo .. here is the plastic bush that died .. and i decided to make one out of metal . found an old hunk of steel ,machined it , and thin disc-ed off the bit i needed .. found an old exhaust flange for the plate .. slotted plate , and started slotting the bush.. once slotted i will weld the plate to the bush ,and machine and fit and see how it shifts . regards robert
