I was slightly annoyed that the wanted an extra £3.54 postage to split the order. A bit mean spirited I thought as I have spent around £1100 with them in the last 10 months - business is business I guess.

Probably depends on who you get to talk to. I made an order on Friday and then added an inlet valve on Monday which was offered free of postage if the other parts were already picked. First package arrived Tuesday and the valve arrived with free post yesterday. Now I've concluded I need 2 tensioner dampers, doh.
Build looking great Ted, good luck with the rest of the engine build.
Sesman:
Thanks Ted. Bottle on order. Keep the build progress coming please.

Whilst waiting for DS delivery decided to strip & re-paint the front steering column - the Rustoleum paint has amazing cover almost too much!
In the photo the underside has been painted just about to paint the top side.
For the environmentalists note the re-purposed bog roll tubes & recyclable spray booth.

So here is the upper crankcase before I fit the top half - second picture after it's bolted together.
