I know this is not strictly "collectable" info......but I would presume that more people in this section are "tinkerers", and maybe also many of you don't venture often into the non-airgun section. Anyhow, I posted a link there to a guy who is disposing of new old stock Stubs files....The needle files are Swiss made, and the workshop ones are good old Sheffield steel. I can't emphasise how much better these are, quality wise than the junk that machine mart and similar places sell....a single decent 10" flat file will cost £10+ these days, and these top quality ones will last for years given a bit of care. Anyway.....sorry to harp on, but they really are cheap as chips, and the ones I bought (loads) will see me out I am sure

Not sure to say thanks because I am not sure that I will use them, but they are SO cheap and SO splendid, I bought a set.
Actually I have loads of project I can give them a work-out on, and when I have sold them I can buy a Moto Morini 350 and really go to town...

Nowt to do wi' me.......I posted the link (immediately after buying mine), on the 17th, ...not my fault if you can't be arsed to make full use of all the facilities this excellent BBS provides
I am going to make a nice wooden rack to hang all my new, shiny, Sheffield made, razor sharp, high speed steel, various size and cuts, but best of all, cheap files on.
If you are up this way, you can have a little go with them, provided you use a little oil on the job (if filing wrought steels), or a bit of chalk (if filing alloys), and clean them thoroughly afterwards and replace them in their correct place
Have I mentioned how cheap they were

Who are you calling fat.......
I got an email from the seller today as I asked him if there were any more....he said they have the entire stock of stubs files as far as he knows, and will be listing more sets as soon as they get amongst all the stock they have
The 350 Sport, one of the early ones with the drum-brakes at the front end. Drums don't bother me because I won't ride it, just disassemble and reassemble it in my living room and occassionally kick it over to listen to the throb of the ickle V-twin.
Don't you know motorbikes are dangerous?
