Classic Mechanics 1988 CB500 Four Engine Rebuild

The rebuild magazine cover and the bike that heads the articles looked familiar, but not the strip down. So I rummaged through the loft and reminded myself that I have the rebuild original and a photocopy off the strip-down.
So, anyone recall the pre-internet days when you could write in to a magazine ( with a cheque, or even a PO), and receive a photo-copy of an article?!

I did it a couple of years ago for an article out Dave Marsden building a Kwak Z1 from new parts. Paid money, heard nothing but eventually after moaning to them, I got a reply from the editor saying he would personally scan the article and send it to me . Never heard anything since and bought the copy of CM with the article in it for 50p !

Thanks very much guys an excellent read. 30 years later we have learned the rubber band trick for the rocker cover and to assemble the crankcases upside down ! Anyone know the background on the author Chris Dell ?

Not sure but I can ask my friends Graham Curtis as he was a writer for CM around that time ( Graham did yellow CB400F2 and CB250K2 restoration features).
