Good luck with yours -- fix that piston, you won't regret it.

Best wishes: Mark.
Hi Mark, have just approved this your first post on the BBS, so welcome to the BBS, and in particular, to Collectors Corner (the best bit imo ). Hope you enjoy it here as much as the rest of us sad old anorak collectors do (). Ha ha. Atb: G.
