    Anyone in the Tidworth/Salisbury/Andover area got a micrometer accurate to 0.01mm I could borrow (or use on your driveway)? Just pulled 16 shims out of a spare engine and every single one of them is unmarked!

    If you pop over to where you picked up the spare engine, Nigel does!

    Hi Chris, I can bring one back from work if you want but will need it back quite quickly as used fairly regularly. If we're still up for a ride on the 14th you could measure the shims at my lock-up

    Thanks Chris, but a bit premature. Not sure where the forum got by DOB from; right month, wrong date and thankfully year miles out, I may look 64 but a long way to go before I reach it

    I actually said to my wife when I noticed your name with the 64 next to it "holy crap he must have some seriously good anti aging products"!

    Thanks for the offer Marm but I'll use Trev's as I'll be seeing him.

    Any advice on buying my own? Are the cheap eBay ones any good?
