The M/C I want to re-sleeve is a tandem unit for the '70 Spit.
Your suggestion was my original thought too, but the last time I
checked, Vicky Brits wanted about $360(US) for this item and I
think TRF wanted about $250(US) for what I think might be the
body. I think the items at Obsolete (an hour up the road from
me) were for the earlier cars without the tandem brakes, hence
the lower cost. These are similar to what I have in my TR4 and
4A and I believe the last new unit I bought from TRF was around
$100(US) a few years ago.
I have already rebuilt the original M/C but the bore is too
badly pitted. I understand that a re-sleeve is around $100.
Thanks
