Well hello again, Repairs progressing apace and have got to the 'sod it I'll just buy new wings' stage. Having done so I notice they are not quite as well made as the old ones with a ruddy great seam down the side at the front.

If you double declutch it works intermitantly but then it pops out of gear again as soon as you touch the clutch pedal. No cones...
