Guys not planned for the tea party yet- but it sounds like he'll soon be 'one of us' on this forum Cool

congratulations on the DB5- I saw it first on the 'other' forum- you obviously updated your garage there a bit quicker than here.

Are we going to get pics and stuff? What colour, trico or red/silver?

Ian

Just secured a motor for it (900SS injection). And have some engine mounting studs on order (Oily!!). And a carbon front mudguard is on its way from the USA. And the missing front torque arm is being machined somewhere in Northamptonshire. And I have purchased part of an exhaust system for it.
Thats all for now. Very Happy

Not desperate - just a gentle reminder, as I know you are busy with your new purchase(s). Very Happy
All in good time..........

Hello,

this is going to sound a bit bonkers, GeeKay, but have you seen the Tamiya 1/35 Tesi plastic model? It might give some clues to the shape and fitting of odd parts on your bike that wouldn't normally be visible. Just a thought,

Cheers, MikeJ

It aint Bonkers Mike, I know that GeeKay already has the model kit and is checking it out, apparently tolerances on the "scale" aren't quite good enough for machining new parts though Laughing

only that it has spent the last 17 years in various people's lofts or garages.
Which only leaves it's first 5 or 6 years un-accounted for Very Happy
Thats why I was hoping the Superbike article would enlighten me further.

might just be your bike before it went racing?

I remember seeing a 'Kinetic Art' Tesi painted in white(?) with a big rectangle on the side with the company logo in it. They could all be the same bike? I hope they didn't 'modify' too many Tesis.
