A trip 'darn sarf'

<< < (2/2)

AshimotoK0:
Great to see you both on Friday Ian and thanks for the advice on machining the split pin holes in the CB92 sprocket damper bolts I am making on my lathe... all done now ... they just need zinc plating. A set of 4 of these from CMS costs £150 plus shipping, so well worth me making them, even though I am a bit of a novice on the lathe.
Item #22 in the diagram. These bikes are real money pits if you are not careful and I have two of them for my sins, a rare 1961 model and an even rarer 1960.

I forgot to tell you that an old workmate of mine has owned a Lotus Elan since I first got to know him in 1977 and finally started restoring it after being off the road almost all of the time I have known him. Didn't you have one?  He had it repainted in Lincolnshire somewhere. Recently though he bought an Elan Plus2 130 5 speed (Austin Maxi gearbox) which was owned by a club member who sadly passed away.

Here's hoping and praying your journey back to Oban was OK in the horrid weather we have at the moment.

Hi Ash,
A wet and windy drive from Hull to Perth - A66 closed so just pressed on up the A1 then over the Bridge and on to Perth.  Good night’s kip and a lovely sunny but cold drive through the Highlands.  An hour or so to go then we are on the ferry back to civilisation in Orkney 😎
Yes, we did have an Elan Plus 2 (4speed) which also came from Dave Willingham - I’d forgotten that one, so the total number of write-offs I got from him is now 35!
Ian
