G'day Gary,

Re: LSR Italian style 1952

G'day Zork, The "Tarf II" is on display in the York Motor Museum (located in York, Western Australia). The Museum has a lot of interesting cars and bikes on display, but the "Tarf II" is the only one I remember that had a connection to land speed racing. Cheers, Pete http://i1224...

Re: Mr Whippy 0 Vs corrosion 10

G'day Gary, 1. Whilst using stainless fasteners can be painful, for the corrosion issue you mentioned and for galling (i.e. 'picking up' a thread and binding), I still like using them!
