Yup - beat me to it.   Jerry (ex-Cheddar) is a good bloke and very helpful.

Can't beat that, he made me a 'T' for my displacement lubricator, it was with me in about 3 days.

The reason why my Sun is one month behind schedule is because Jayne at Polly Model couldn't be ar$ed to E-Mail/phone/send me a pigeon that the Stuart paint (on backorder) was quote: "Not cost effective to re-order."... Last time I deal with them... >:-o

Sorry to hear that Benjamin...

their response to my request for a new gauge glass for the hemmens was instant, and highly detailed so that they could ensure the correct sized component was sent!

in fact i thought it was bl00dy  excellent considering the item i wanted was only going to cost a pound :-))

credit where its due

i did manage to break the new gauge glass he sent me due to my stupidity!!! 



a quick phone call to Jeremy in the morning had 2 new gauge glasses dropping through my letter box the following morning!  just on the promise of a cheque in the post to him


excellent service Jeremy well done!
