  1. you need to really lightly,dust the decal with the clear and build up from there. its the aromatics in there which can lift the vinyl
  2. it would have to be a weld job. looks like the later XJ 2HW engine as it has the strange looking point on the side cover where the single pick up lives.
  3. only one pick up coil on this version, uses a digital ignitor to work out the rest
  4. I know, tried the old coils as I def know they work. got a day off tomorrow and its sunny, so gonna start from scratch again
  5. looking good Kev, or is that a 10 yr old picture?
  6. can't understand why I can't get a spark all the specs read correctly and juice is getting where it should, igniter was tested on another xj too
  7. you not been on the tracker seat have you? ask Paul he can tell you bit silly for a day out even in a car!!
  8. cottonopolis was a name given to Manchester when we ruled the world
  9. I see you have the Makro bike jack, got one myself when they went down to £40 wish I had enough room for a 16' shed
  10. I prefer Daimler Darts myself
  11. up in the hills, @ Rivington/Turton/Helmshore (Rossendale Valley)
  12. AFAIK no laws for handle bar switches, although it would be really daft to put them too far away that you had to look down to flick switches etc. if your feeling flush, you can have micro buttons to run this http://motogadget.com/en/electrics/electronic-control-box-m-unit/m-unit-digit-tastersteuerung-u-sicherung.html
  13. looks good,too far for me though http://www.biamf.co.uk/
  14. I managed to get out for a few hours, but it was bloody freezing
  15. you did better than the regulars
  16. Good natured gag as students play an April Fools on the teacher who makes them take their calls on speaker, if it rings in his class.
  17. what a career, had to skip the gory bits but the man did well
  18. YOC for me you can still put your name on it afterwards folks
  19. Its all in the prep. got to be grease free and no touching with bare hands. warm casings up slightly and paint in the proper humidity and temp as on the can. I have tried yambits engine silver and its rubbish. personally I would leave it bare and rub in acf40 and keep clean. barrels can be painted with Pj1 if you can still get it, fuel and oil resistant when treated as per instructions. failing that BBQ paint form B&Q has been great and used it on the Gilera exhaust, again I heat treated it using a blowtorch
