Re: Thoughts on this Monza 225 seize
With the seize lining up perfectly with the transfers could you suggest that at full throttle the transfer stream is what is actually keeping the piston cool and preventing seizure (or detonation)? As you then shut off the piston is no longer cooled by the mixture flow and causes the seize. This is ...

Re: number plate repair solutions ?
I've got the frame loop from an Indian GP I just chopped up for racing if its any good?
I could chop the back section off for you if you want for the cost of postage. Im not sure if they differ from LI to GP in this section of the loop but its yours if you want it.
