    There was no top hat in my early 80s venom HW80 (1983 iirc). Must dig it out and restore it (sympathetically &#128561

    Mine is 1983 and had no top hat either (it does now )

    Maybe the top hat thing came later...

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    Venom 80

    Mid 80's tune would have had a steel top hat fitted. Easy enough to replace these days. Mach 1.5

    Venom 80

    Yep steel top hat was an evo of the standard tune. The above gents mention 1983 so that was when venom were based at Trapshot. Of course these tunes are old now and had many owners! so some parts would of course be missing/ changed of course. The green venom piston seal didn't come into play till late 80's as they would resize HW seals which still remain good even today. Mach 1.5
