Is it really worth the piffling weight saving, other than the 'cool' factor you'd be better laying off the odd pie mate :lol:

Mmmm :fou I was waiting for the 'who ate all the pie' jokes :roll:

After sorting out what's going to Mikey for replating, some of the fabricated suspension mounts meant that the original bolts weren't long enough. I originally started searching for stainless, then came accross Titaniam, which isn't that expensive. Change out of £15 for this lot. :drool

All Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) Which I believe is up to the job. :v

I find the quickest way to lose the wife is sleep with her sister or her best mate.

Steve, Just checked your build out in projects, may I say it is extremely impressive mate, the twin lamps and oil cooler fit really well, can't wait to see it finished, please don't sell it (unless you have to) it would be like losing a limb if it were mine.
