I've got some of the adaptor rings on my camper.
It's quite a few years since I fitted them but seem to remember buying Nightbreaker bulbs. The MGB has Cibie Z180s so I've stuck with those for that.

Had to move an engine to make some space at my brother’s.

I noticed that it had an engine steady bar, which mine doesn’t, so I removed it to fit to mine.

Spare engines are great until you have to move one....

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

I had the engine that I swapped out of my P4 Rover in the corner of my garage temporarily*. It stayed there for a couple of years till I finally got rid of it.

I have two A-Series cluttering up my garden that I really should dispose of. Always in the way and a right pain to move without risking damaging them.

Single or a twin? Be ideal for hipsters to fuck up a decent bike with turning it into either a"cafe racer" or "bobber" obviously they want 125s as their mum world never let them take a proper bike test.

I've got a couple of DAF engines in bits in the shed. Can't help but think I'll end up with another one if I sling them out though.

Twin out of a Chinese AJS Daytona. Needs the carbs cleaning and a new LH side cover.

Metro and mini A series are heavy bastards with the built in gearbox. I've had lots of pleasure swapping them in the past. Piss easy to change though. I drove to Brum once to pick up a low mileage mg metro lump for £150. The car was mint but weighed in as part of that fantastic scrappage scheme. Cunts.
