Re: Layshaft fitting help please

Re: Layshaft fitting help please

Hi Its an original 150 special gearbox - in fact all the internals are original 150 special (1965 Italian) and were fitting OK prior to stripping the engine.

Powdercoat colours

I want to get some of my internal parts (toolbox,petrol tank, etc...) powder coated.

Is anyone familiar with the powder coat chart, and knows what the nearest colour to SX200 white is?

Cheers
Nick

Re: Engine build help for newbie

Nick I think the twin spark plug thing is an old tuning mod from back in the day. Don't know if it has any benifit but someone will probably give you a few quid for it. Seeing as you already have your TS you can probably get a decent turn off speed out of a little port job on the barrel. Give Chris...
