Whilst searching YouTube channels a few days ago, Paul, I also stumbled across "Air Ghandi World". Not an Indian site, as one might guess, but German. And he has done a fair few interesting videos - many of which are on Weihrauch models.

The chap has his own shop (Jabolo, I think). It can be found on Jabolo.de/en.

He does tuning kits and trigger tuning kits. These are based on V-Mach kits. I think he possibly mentions that Lyn does these kits and supplies Jabolo with them. All looking and sounding good. Kits and trigger sound superb.

V-Mach lives on.

And I'd say the YouTube channel is well worth a visit.

I was going to say, considering Steve passed a few years ago and Paul mentioned that Lyn had all his kits, I would have thought they would have run out by now, but Lyn must still be making them.

Just so happens that this afternoon my 1993 Vantage 80 popped a piston seal. Looks like Lyn will have service job coming up. Mach 1.5

Yep, I'd have expected so, Pete. I'm pretty sure Lyn had also told us that he had been involved even more with Steve at the latter stages, especially with developing the newer, more dedicated lubricants. Pretty sure the required relationships with spring manufacturers etc. will have been sorted before Steve's sad and untimely passing.

By the way, I seem to remember that the kits were very comprehensive - as well as the spring, guide, top hat, power washers, piston sleeve (where required), lubricants and instructions, the video pointed out that they even came with disposable gloves to keep your hands grease free, a small brush for grease application (I think?) and even a clear plastic sheet to insert down the cylinder to protect the piston seal from getting caught on any cut-outs upon fitting. Very comprehensive.

To be honest Tone, I never really got involved with V-mach kits, like I've said in the past, I had massive problems with a Prosport kit that kept going over the limit, I can't fault Steve's customer service and he did all he could to help, but to me they where expensive kits and I was a little miffed that these kits everyone raved about, caused so much hassle to fit, the green seal was too tight for starteres and then the spring needing to go back to Steve to be shortened, so I'm not sure what was included in the later kits, I remember reading a massive Venom article in one of the mags (I think it was Terry who did it) and it was going on about the amount of R&D they put into the type of greases they where using, I think this was around about the time they where doing the Longbow Sidewinders, at the time for me, I found it was easier and cheaper (I was a courier driver at the time, so got free postage), to get SFS to tune my rifles, so I was never a proper Venom/V-mach fan boy.
