It's only because i found half of one in the 3 & 4 head that i wondered what it was, none on the other valves that side & only two on the inlet valves the other side 1 & 2 so will replace the lot.Anyone got any old knackered inlet & exhaust valves? i want to convert my valve compression tool to put new guides in if needed on future projects have already made an extractor tool from tube & stainless studding.

Barry,tried the GPS speedo out in the car today would recommend it although there is about a three to four second delay before true speed.As to whether they are legal or not is not an issue as i am keeping my Vapour set up,which i am finding difficult to see in bright sunlight thus the reason i purchased this one with the bright green display.Ebay number 254720432271.

I wasn't having a go at you yesterday Gorbee, I was answering Alex's question. Sorry if it seemed like I was. Just a thought, is there a way of fitting a sunscreen/visor to your speedo?

I was checking out GPS speedo's a while ago as a replacement but I couldn't get my head around the legality, I did use the speedo on my sat nav for a while and that worked well, the speedo you've bought seems to be a nice dinky bit of kit.

Or this one as I hope it will fit in the holder on Herman.

I suppose it's down to how much i am prepared to pay, to me it seems a good price for a boom trike he originally wanted £9,500 got him down to £8.000...nothing is going to happen until after xmas so got plenty of time to ponder it...doing a Mal upgrading & spending some of my retirement money before i get to decrepit to do anything.
