RE: Bentley manual (was JE Pistons Group Buy: ATTN: Wing Gee)

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

Typical of Haynes to get things arse for elbow - unless you have bendy-toy 
hands you really have to unclip the speedo cable from underneath before even 
thinking about removing the cluster.
You can the Bentley on amazon.co.uk  for about £42 + P&P but unless you are 
paying whopping import tax, it looks like it is a good bit cheaper buying it 
off amazon.com as they are doing a deal on it at the moment: USD38.46 + 
USD3.99 shipping to europe, which works out at around GBP30. Doubt you'd 
even get a secondhand one hugely cheaper once you factor in postage, etc.  
Remember though, it's for U.S. models so I doubt there will be any mention 
of 2E2 carbs, etc, if that's what you have.

Tempted to get one myself.

HTH,


Ewan Hopkins...
