Its original, I am reliably told, had gone thin around the blast pipe. Now either Mike now has this one, or I hope it is still with Ken Watkins in Leintwardine.
Tony I would agree about QOTB keeping convertable gear, however the realist in me thinks that a cracked but usable headstock would be better on a pallet with QOTB and a good headstock fitted to Craig's Roller.

Hedd, I have got the headstock off Ken yesterday. It has some damage around the bottom of the blast pipe, but is miles better than the one on 9005. We are going to try and weld it up. If it works I will be chuffed, If we make a balls up of it, then I am no worse off than I was last week. Besides losing a few quid.
