If you need electrical stuff for the build I have found these quite good. Only problem is it is too easy to overspend :(

This ones mine, its still undergoing a refit. Had been thinking about trying to fit the scooter back end for ages. Its on now but may go again :)

Still got to change the rear wheels for some alloys I have painted up, had to replace the engine after the block cracked as well but its almost there.

I have fancied a trike for as long as I can remember, wonder if I should use my GLS to build one. ::)

Seconded. Very good range of stuff and it arrives quick. :y

What engine is that in your beastie, nabsim? Looks vaguely familiar but I can't place it.

Its is indeed a Reliant 850 high compression engine, top marks that man :)

Was originally a 750 until the block let go. Always inteded changing it so no big deal apart from it has taken all year with other stuff. Comes from having to work outside and not much good weather when I have been off work :(

I have another high comp one that I am rebuilding in the shed. If you look at the block the high comp ones have 'horizontal 'ribs' cast in them. Course if you lift the head it will say on the piston crown as well but looking at block is easier ;)

Mmm! Well worth noting for the future. IIRC the high compression makes them kick out a heady 40-ish bhp!!
It's a 'B' axle I'd like to get hold of ... just in case I ever did anything with my Bond Bug project .... I've not for the last4 years or so.  :-[
