Spoke to David today, and to have the shoes relined, its about £60. Might as well cut out the middle man and go directly to the brake company. Just had a nose underneath at the propshaft, and found the UJ next to the gearbox is totally shot. I have seen these available at LSE, so thats another thing...

Some useful links I've found so far, for information or manuals. Also found a Sprite / Nimbus manual after quite a bit of searching.

Also, there is a bad oil leak off what I think is the reduction box, that drives a cog, that then drives the chain to the clutch... Its oozing out, and looks a bit ...

This one then... unless someone has any idea what the original parts were from, I'll give them a call... http://www.192.com/atoz/business/bordon-gu35/brake-and-clutch-manufacturers/o-r-c-a-ltd/5cbf1d385bb262a1b2a6eae25054800aa2eda097/ml/ ORCA Unit 4-5 Petersfield Road Bordon Hampshire GU35 9AR 01420...
