Looks good - who do you use as I'm just down the road from you and need a Gilera Runner 180 doing?

Got the broken bolts sorted now and the engine scrubbed up ready for the high temp. paint. A bit more masking to do , but I keep that to a minimum by just painting over the lot then removing the covers afterwards, being as they will need all the paint stripping off them anyway. Except for the belt covers which dont have any paint on them , so I will need to mask those. I,m in no hurry for the paint right now being as the temperature in my garage has now dipped below zero, I,m thinking of rigging up some kind of Heath robinson hot box to paint the engine in, like maybe a big cardboard box that covers the engine and big enough to slip a fan heater inside. Just got to fiddle about switching the heater off while the paint is applied , then get the fan heater back on quickly afterwards.[IMG][IMG][URL=http://s417.photobucket.com/user/dookbob/media/imagejpg1-5.jpg.html][IMG][IMG][/IMG]

I,m doing the valve shims at the moment and I,m thinking I might swap the wire collets for the MBP type while I am at it. I have used these before and gotta say that I prefer them. The last ones I bought came with a full collet set that I bought from the USA, does anyone know if there is a UK supplier for MBP collets?
