He might not have a pot type one though Warren

I had a flat one in my 1.6, as I used the clutch/flywheel from the 1.4...

lexmaul is goin to stay atm, i was goin to do a tb set up but looking into it now its goin to cost loads so i will run the lexmaul for a while and see if any tb sets come up a wee bit cheaper

im waiting for a u2u from lee m about the clutch as he is quite close and can get the gm bits very cheap.

how much did you want for that fly then ? do you no of any companies to lighten it...

to my understanding all 1600 should be pot and 1400 flat type

£20 for either, could bring to a meet


£35 posted for flat, and £40 posted for pot type (heavier)
