Didn’t Louis Moto have any Dom? They’re cheaper and I got mine in 48 hrs.

Thanks for this. It’s one of the many questions I had lined up to ask so it’s good to see somebody else asking it.

Please let me know how you get on.

I made an executive decision this week, instead of spending all summer working on the bike to make it look better, I am going to put it back together and get it running safely this season hopefully. Then come autumn, I can get back in the shed with it and spend the dark nights and wet weekends pulling bits off and fettling. It will look a bit odd, some bits have been refreshed and some not.

That’s the plan anyway, I just hope I can get it back together and running again! So the engine has gone back in the frame tonight. The engine was a runner and I have given it a clean up, lapped the valves and replaced the dodgy rocker arms. All new bushes and bearings on the frame and wheels and new brakes, so I’m hopeful it should run and be safe. Then I get to have something to do throughout the coming winter. With a bit of luck it will work out and not bite me in the backside.

I want to paint the housing, just wondering if anyone has removed one.

I assume it’s stuck down and maybe a bit of heat will enable me to remove it and then put it back after.

Yes, I stick mine on top of the radiator so it makes the glue gooey, it's like UHU, then slide a very thin blade under it and gradually peel off. Be careful to not bend the plate as it leaves a line in the metal.

Never heard of them Julie, but good old google research unearthed a bit of info!👍

I had heard of Ailsa Craig before but that's because they are Potatoes, which  I've grown and also tomatoes, which I still grow and an Onion that I've never grown😂😂😂
