Thanks for the update, I'm glad you are still accumulating bits.

I'm afraid I can't recommend anyone in the Northampton area, but I'm sure that someone will soon.

I'm based in Wellingborough and as yet have not found a local source at a sensible price that I am happy with, so tend to make the 45 minute drive to Southam (SMMC). The work has always been excellent. If you find anywhere I would be interested to here about it.

Well only guy Local was Martin of MRA but don't know if he's still doing it or not. But SMMC do a good job so ill properly end up taking it to them when I've got the other bits I want doing to the engine.

Thanks

Hey guys

Small update just collecting parts still




Also you won't believe how hard it is to get a Hs2 carb guide.


Circled in red. I'm missing on and my carb piston has been spinning, damaged the jet and needle think its why i got the twins so cheap. Brought one via SU (Burlen) and its too small so waiting on an email back at the moment. Unless you chaps know thanks

If you are after engine work, It might well be worth talking to Selby race engines in Olney. Has been around for years racing and developing A-series engines.
