Fast-ish Touring Kit?

[Muttley McLadd]

Ok I have stripped it down, I was wondering if anyone had any kits that they are willing to part with. I will consider anything.

Rich Taylor is making some more GT kits. I can't remember the last time I heard of one going pop - for any reason.
You don't need to downgear to make them move either. 4.6 is normal. Bolted on with a 30 mil carb and a clubman, mine does about 70 on the flat. More on damp mornings. Very good on petrol too.

I was looking at them the other day, is there any kind of lead times for the kit?

I think I was being a bit optimistic with what I was after from the engine. What I kit it with is more a matter of being offered a kit at the right price.

Buy cheap = buy twice.

I didn't say what cheapest, I said what's at the right price.

I paid less than 400 pounds for mine, with a head. I've done about 8000km on it now, without any problems. And it runs with semi synthetic oil too, at 3%.

By consider any kit, I mean one with a good reputation. I don't fancy one of those Indian type barrels.

I just want to keep my options open, you never know what's in someone's garage waiting to find a home. Like I say what are the lead time on the gt kits? Or is that under raps?

Has anyone used one of those cheap ebay alloy kits?

[lozmondo]

The ebay kits when fettled and checked over can offer great value for money. i run one with an ancillotti and 24mm Mikuni LI125 gearing with a 17 tooth front sprocket, gps over 65 no problem

There's an MB Tuned SR190 on Ebay at the moment

Maybe its me being silly but I can't seem to find it... But I am on my phone...
