Cheers, man!

I'm going for tidy.. A twin Webered 16v is about as stealthy as a fart in an elevator..

Haha you're a unit, Dom.

Currently working on all the "little bits". Shift linkages etc. All painted and the like.

I'm also going to convert the rod with bushes to an aluminium rod with rose joints to eliminate the slop there. I will have pics and explain what the hell I mean soon.

Yep will do. I plan on making a kit to sell anyway.

Just double check that your rod is the same length as mine (measure it for me) please (not gay. Definitely not gay). Obviously you'll have adjustment but it would be good to confirm first..
