I've bought a few of these now. Got one in my mugello and bought a couple for engines that i've built. On ebay for Â£120, or JB Tunings shop for Â£99.00. They seem to be capable right up to ts1 standards.

Hmm... I think that some of you are over looking a valid point-

The pin that the con-rod kit comes with is over 10mm to long. Plus some dealers are supplying a slightly oversized pin with the rod kit........ so yes, cheaper is not always the best way to go!!

Hi all, a mate of mine wants to respray his GP in Turquoise (8016) but the painter cant find it on his data base. the closest- which is very close.... was from a diatschu or whatever they're called.

does anybody have a modern number for this colour or do you still go by the 8016???

....Just out of intrest, do you have a wide rim on the back by any chance?? not that it should effect it, but thye wide tyre with a wide rim might be working againsed the front.

GPMatt

yes, just as good. i run weathermans with the 100/90 rear and racemans with 3.50 rear.

Have you thought about changing to a 30mm and using a MB type Ram air. I've heard of great results from large cc engines with smaller carbs!
