I dod promise him a build thread, so sorry its so late, but here goes a picture of when Bruce got it. I will update the thread with more piccies soon  |

Thanks again, its great to have positive comments
The engine spec is 1293cc with omega piston, AC Dodd RT cam (Profiled for torque, not Power, the head is a 37/29mm valve sizes rework to give a 9 to 1 C/R. All the head work (Ooo Err) was done by me using an air die grinder and a woodworking router to take the combustion cambers to size. The chambers were balanced using a bruretter and are within 0.1cc of each other. The carb is a SU HIF44 with a needle to suit the spec, this will be profiled once the engine is run in, it has a ITG Filter with a ram stack inside the filter.
I'm at Castle Combe on saturday so hope to pick up some odds n sods there.
And I've started the dash board so will post piccies soon
