So let me get this straight, you've ordered a lens from Wales to be delivered to Scotland (obviously Via England) and then your taking it to Ireland

Well done HG. Did you source new WW tyres? I trust that all the 2ba washers have been correctly cadmium plated rather than chromium?
I do note that the motor has been removed and the entire project is now ecologically sound

..that's part of the fitness drive Ken, I have to get off and push up hills..
Seriously though, the engine's on a bench in bits and the pedals are a 'French thread', not easy to find.
Mobylette didn't join the rest of the world, as far as pedals were concerned, until the 1970s.
Theyre a bit like trying to fit a K mount lens on an M42 body...
....it can be done with a big hammer!

I could do with getting out and I can't.
The folk who have me over for Christmas lunch had moved it to Friday because wee grandson was going on the Santa Express Steam train in the highlands so they wouldn't be down till Thursday.
Plans changed - it's tomorrow . Good job I've plenty of wine in the house - 7 adults , no one driving and I can't get out till after the lens arrives - I suspect I'll be taking over some wine

So TT has ordered a lens to be delivered from Wales to Scotland on Christmas Eve in the middle of a storm.
I assume it's being delivered by ruDHLph himself! Otherwise, nae chance.
