Just to decide now whether to go for the narrowed Type 1 beam conversion. Not sure how it will affect the ride though.....

I doubt the beam conversion would affect the ride... try putting the slam beam you bought off arcane on the notch and see!!

Type 3 beams ride much betterthan a Bug beam. It would need a fair bit of kidding, but, that's what I am thinking of Dude.

I have 2x rear half of rear inner wings sorted and inner valance too. All NOS!
Will adjust the clutch and try again some time this week as well. A couple of people have suggested to me to slacken the cable a turn or so on the wingnut as the slippage is only at higher revs in higher gears.....

Hmmm, when I said I had found an inner rear valance I hadn't been told that I had to have the outer too, and that I would have to go and collect the panels as the guy refuses to post them, and that he wants £500 for them.
I know they are NOS, but didn't expect to have to pay that much.
Bit more homework is required I think.
