Hi Martin -
Actually I *had* to remove the big internal waterpipe because its
leaking coolant(I suspect a bad gasket underneath).
I don't want to get in here again for some time, so I'm taking my
time now to really clean things up and do the job properly once and
for all. Hopefully, I will get it all together in due course, and it
will be ready for Eurofest next year.
And the small waterpipe you mention - well, I've already got that
from you, remember? :)
Still - do you happen to sell easy-outs/repair kits for broken bolts?
Best wishes
