The next thing for me to consider is the refurbishment of the head lamps on the tourer. Anyone with advice please.

I will get round to changing all th...

Re: Clock
It is such a shame, I thought I had a nice restored clock coming my way.
Have to keep looking, hopefully one will come to the market place sometime soon.
Thanks for taking the trouble Chris.
