You got lots of bits and even a fire tray I need.... I let you know the next time one comes up on ebay. I think this one cost me less than £40.00. |
A bargain Manx! |

I think what tends to happen is that over time, bits are replaced and fixed with Mamod parts.
I think that is it for me and Wells for a little while. |
this is the Well that Manx was kind enough to sell to me.

I should be getting my book early next week and I'm sure it will prove an interesting read.
MTA you were going to try and wangle some Wells castings.
Hows that coming along? |
Bugger, forgot about that tmuir, sorry mate  I'll just send you the castings I have with me here. Gonna have to find them all amongst the bomb site known as my bedroom  By the way, the Wells at my school has a name stamped into the engine frame. Do your examples have any Manx?
