just had a look at that, cant believe what hes asking pricewise, unless Im missing something?, will keep my eyes open on ebay for a cheap engine cover and look at this myself, location of the unit is obviously paramount, but nothing that a simple jig cant sort once you got one right

need to look at the thing about the GP clutch centre, as these pistons as standard are setup to push on a hardened steel pushrod of about 8mm dia

is a lot of money, but I suppose as with anything, if you cant do it yourself, then you either pay someone else or dont have it??
