  3. best getting a manual as it explains how pistons are oval and wear fore and aft etc.
  4. the tube method is the best as it takes into account the vagrates of each carb. why not get a matching bolt and drill/tap for a nipple?

    Leather care

    I think Goff has a spray booth for all her leathers so long as the leather is fed and keeps supple any product is good enough, I use dubbin on my boots to keep the weather out!!
