    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Hog
    Looks pretty straightforward <glances admiringly at brand spanking new
    CNC mill>.

    I'd need to run some measuring stuff over it to make a drawing, that I
    could then make <glances admiringly at brand spanking new CNC mill>.

    Cost of materials, basically. Get a few signed up[1] and get me a look
    at the original and you're on. <glances admiringly at brand spanking new
    CNC mill>.

    [1] There will be a minimum buy on the material.

    You could sell a *few* for £50 a time I reckon. It could be improved BTW,
    neatened up. There would be pre and post Mono versions.

    I'm not looking to sell any, as such. I'm happy to knock a couple out
    for UKRMers, and if they want to get others involved to spread the cost
    of materials, that's cool.

    This is a hobby, not a business. And I really, really don't want it to
    become one.

    ?

    Is it? Really? Odd, I thought it was an answer. Ah well.

    Yippee!

    There's nothing wrong with the handling of my R80, but... it's a go
    faster bolt on and that's rare for an R80 :)

    Ok it's not then. Fear abated {:eek:)=

    I know you don't want to end up spending *all* your time making bits or
    straightening bits for UKRM

    It's not the time taken that the problem, really.

    I'll do jobs on an 'as-and-when' basis. If I end up taking money for
    jobs, next thing I've got 'customers' hassling me for delivery. Then it
    stops being fun.

  20. Consider me signed on.

    Slowly I will replace everything on my R80. Anybody tried the 1000cc
    lightweight piston conversion from motorworks?

    Cheers,
