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?

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...
