I'd say that would be pretty low on any owners list of jobs I must do!

Re: Good Guys .
There are pictures of a twin in bits on the SOS web site, and it would be very good to see some more, as we are all interested

Re: Good Guys .
That isn't going to happen Adrian, as I'm still rebuilding the gearbox which is suffering the same problems that OA's often suffer from.
I haven't even started making the patterns for the twin & OA bits that require casting in Birmabright as there is a minimum charge for mixing a batch of the correct alloy, which I will then own the entire contents of the crucible.
But before that I've got to finish some bronze parts for the type B SD transom bracket, then complete a 170 racer, then restore a 5R up to racing spec, the 5R will require a complete new leg, prop, cylinder, crankshaft, head, piston & crankcase.
As you will see from the above jobs I should do list there is a very considerable expenditure of cash that I'll have to find as well as the costs of any of the more exotic races I want to do, so you will just have to wait till I'm ready.

Re: Good Guys .
No Marston twin as seen on the SOS web site. The unitwin has a similar layout though.
