Happy new Year!!!!

My Question was............. >> Is that  a BN1 type 'smaller wheel opening' 
4 cyl guard?....

After 20 something years of owning a BN1 - I really just can't recall how 
big the wheel arches were........... I'd check - but i sold it a year or so 
ago.

Show me your BJ8 specs!!!!

I remember those!!!

:)
