Managed to sell my old mirrors, but gave the cycle wings and harness to the club to sell, hopefully raising some money for the WSCC supported charity.

As Car Builder Solutions did not bring any stock to sell to Stoneleigh, they gave all their visitors a card with a 10% discount code and free shipping. Wanted a centre mirror for ages, so decided to take them up on the offer ;)

So after yet another oil related incident last month, I discovered that my fuel pump cover plate did not have a deflector fitted. Barney mentioned he had one left over from his Crossflow days, so picked it up and installed the new plate with a new gasket. Also redid the oil breather pipes to the catch tank so it now only breathes from the crank, and no longer from the top of the engine. Seems to work much, much better.

My old air filter really needed to be replaced but as I could not find a matching filter size, I resorted to these Ram Air socks.

Set a little challenge to the members of the Facebook group to commute in the Westfield to work today. I do this of course all the time :yes:
