Horler,
Hmm isn't that the same book on my book shelf that has a photo of the air cans
on the carbs upside down?? So given that one mistake in that book is proof that
a mistake can be made, well . . . . . .
Never owned a Mk I, but making a point about the veracity of believing in
exactly what Horler says is to be taken to the bank.
