    Hi Oliver,
    As I said "things dont always go right the first time", I should have made the prototype out of only silver but I was over ambitious.
    The original set up was Silver with Gold however I had a "melt down" soldering the carbs to the fan shroud so i abandoned the gold for bronze and eliminated the linkage bar.

    There are 8 seperate components that are all soldered together ( done this way for polishing reasons and risk reduction of ruining a single piece through a mistake) so it really is a blend of the "ol way" in union with the new tech that is a science / art within itself.
