That is a superb offer, Mark; really thoughtful and generous, top man.
The bit that Bananarama! hard is the loss of the Pistons as they were custom ordered and made. I would have to do my research on what would fit.
ALL the bottom end was brand new - crank, Rods, Pistons, Rings, BCR's, bearings. I did not build it and I do not feel there is any isssue with the quality of the build - it was the quality of the balance work that is under scrutiny.
Justin - BACS transfer will suffice...........
