Does anyone have the specifications for the oil inlet valve spring for early 2 3/4 engines - Part number 424.   I have tried to order one from the club spares but apparently Jeff Swan is indisposed at the moment.

Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

the brakes on my 600 aero leave a lot to desire!! thinking as to having them relined but with what grade material? the compound ones seem to hard and are designed for high speed/friction. would a woven material be better? thanks david

David,
          I am using the brake linings available through the LDMCC spares scheme on my DT engined sprinter. These linings bring the bike back down from 100+mph without too many worries, and are of a woven construction. When I fitted the linings, I Araldited and riveted them to the bands to eliminate most of the sponginess. I believe this material has a code number of 3806 and is probably the best non-asbestos material available (virtually as good as the old Ferodo material).

  Regards,
               Eddie.
