It will be going to a machine shop in Witney, whatever needs doing he will do and at a cost a bit less than SRM would charge and the job will be as good, plus the fact I can get it there without having to post it.
Thanks for pointing that out, a big cloud has just appeared over me to add further to my depression.
As I had decided not to buy any more bikes and also sell some just to keep the B25 and my Hinkley Triumph,just over a year ago at Shepton Mallett auto jumble I sold a large journal crank in good overall condition just needed a regrind for a lot less than I have paid, however without a crank I have a bike that is useless.
The good news is that I was told yesterday that the thick flange barrells I have also in good condition with no broken fins could be worth £3.50 to £4.50.
Should I part with those and a matched set of genuine super rocket crankcases to pay for all the work?
