Well you learn something else every day Ash. I always thought the head was increased to prevent the 12mm head rounding off. You used to see CB750's driving around with a socket welded to the bolt so they can change the oil. Anyway's, they have gone back to the 17mm bolt in replacement parts. Guess the K0 was correct then. There's one for the memory should I ever find a K0 for £200. ;D

Ps. That makes the blue one wrong as that had a 12mm bolt. This conversation is getting frightening.

Here: Service Bulletin #13 unlucky for some  ;D

It was probably to stop cracking the oil filter housing though, not damage to the crankcase like I originally suggested

I guess the mx5 was converted to 3 wheels so that he could drive it on a bike licence?, surely it would have been easier to get a car licence? 😀

I'm never sure what you can ride / drive on what type of license. I know there used to be a weight limit for three wheelers but probably all changed now.

Looks an interesting conversion. Makes you wonder how? And why?
Suspect it may be a bit skittish in the wet (and possibly the dry) being RWD.
