Thanks Holmsey. I really cannot put into words how grateful I am with the help I'm getting from you guys.
Any information that he can provide will be invaluable to me. If it would help him, I can provide him with my Email address.
My intention is to get it running smoothly and properly and stop all the knocks and bangs and leaks etc. then strip it and
clean/paint and rebuild and produce a spreadsheet of all the parts that have been used and where possible, the part
numbers too. Any rod or kitcar should be done in that way as the next owner may well need that information to replace worn out parts.
Incidentally, how do I sent PM's here please?
