Wow,

I have an engine and gearbox in the shed with a speedex head on it, been meaning to sort it to go on my website.

Must be worth millions Wink

Early retirement here we come Big Grin

Curious that the Speedex manifold for a side-draft carb is fetching more than twice the price of the Supaloy down-draft version; I would have thought the latter was the more desireable. The seller also has an interesting 2-piece cylinder head.

Hi,

With eBay sometimes the red mist descends on the bidders, the seller started his auction at £19.99 with no reserve so good luck to him. 

The bidders are obviously in a battle with each other with neither willing to give in I suppose that's why old paintings sell for hundreds of millions.

A fool and his money comes to mind  Rolleyes

Now back to the shed to find that elusive part that's going to make me rich Big Grin

Silly.

He's also selling a Scintilla Vertex mag - I have one just like that that I've occasionally thought of attempting to fit to a Seven... It is quite a size though...

Don't bid on eBay after 1 1/2 bottles of wine !! That puts the prices up hi!
My problem I ask questions that other people don't like?
Like have you got that for an investment or for fun?

I knew a couple of lads who went on ebay after the pub and next day realised they'd bought a speedboat! Both lived in Bedfordshire...

Hi Chris: I have a Vertex mag adapter for a Seven if you are interested. It does eliminate the dynamo though. Seems to be a one-off as there are no markings present. I have the mag as well but it is a heavy brute and shipping would be outrageous. Gord

Thanks Gord, I do have one of those or something similar at least.
I may yet try it out but for now other projects always seem to take priority...
