Hi all - searched for info on master cylinder date codes but cant find any - may be covered in John Brookes' book but no copies available to buy at moment and so don't have access.

Hi Zedders. This book is now out of print but for those interested in the various editions of the book, I have updated the webpage as to what is out there.

Hi all - I tried Z-power but they are out of stock (they emailed me). John Brookes doesn't have any left either.

Thx

Don't suppose anyone has a spare copy of John Brookes' parts book they want to sell?

Be happy to pay for a pdf version if someone fancies scanning theirs. John's site says no more available.

I'm swotting for Rivet Counter Level 1 exams...

Cheers,

Nice Z900 racing pic, what track was it taken at? It was a very small track set in a disused quarry at Longridge near Preston. A couple more pics from there: On the grid #15 behind is an 1971 H1.

Can I borrow some of your images for my FaceBook page please ??

Of course- no prob

Thanks all for the comments - i was expecting some hazing like on the ZRXOC but very friendly on here so far! Not sure where we will move back to yet.
