yea but weres the fun in that

You can still have fun with an alloy cylinder ! I'm just saying that it's a bit of a shame to use the TV one itself when you could use a less hard to find item.....

I have a similar set-up on my SX150 which has a Mec TV type crank, clubman, Ts 185 piston, Harry Barlow ported alloy cylinder and a 2mm packer..... I painted the barrel black and it all looks fairly original (apart from carb) and is very smooth with a good spread of power.

My original SX cylinder is greased and up on the shelf for a one day maybe back to original rebuild... ...maybe
