    Yeyyy, good to see repair work has started already, i think you need to add a wedge under the throttle pedal so it will only go down a third of the way, and block the linkage so it wont get any gears higher than second




    Ive done nothing to mine as yet, drove it on boxing day which was good fun, out down my fave local route (which is also my summer bike ride loop of about 18 miles) got a load of bits to do on it over the next week as im off, just rain is stopping play for now, oh well there is always drink (two bottles of honey jack should keep me occupied)

    This is what I had to sort!







    How it is at the moment



















    Started smoothing a few bits off too.
