or south.  or if they have always been allowed then someone should get it changed in the rule book or whats the point in having a rule book.  It says k, L.  Just an observation

Old fart IF you get a 74 swing arm to fit give me an address and ill send you up a couple of 75's  for the "mod".

Freakshow, I was the eligibility advisor at both the Tanunda and Port Pirie Nats and last time I looked at a map they are both in SA. I can vouch for certain that at least two, possibly more '75 TMs raced at those Nats.

Im just syaing, maybe some one needs to advise MA as the MOMS still says J, K, L only.  Rules are rules why would a scutineer let it through at any round if he is doing his job and reading the book ? I'd love to ride at least one i have as its a real goer, but then again we had issues with the MXB down here.    So i think its a bit hipacritical if your using the book on one hand then excluding yourself from it on the other hand.

Regarless of who lets it through on the day, you need to sort the MOMS out to reflect that change if its been Approved.  I'LL go with the concensus if its been OK, but get it in the book otherwise that manual is an even bigger usless pile of shite.

Freaky
            Keep your hat on mate    I'm in the process of asking MA for a ruling .
Have just sent them an email with regards to what has been discussed on line ( with no names or race events mentioned )
I have asked for it in writing on an official letter head  so it can be produced at scrutineering  if questioned

Will keep you posted on the outcome

[Freakshow]

Thats what you want.   IF you can get it in writing, then everyone knows the rules.  Rather than line bals depending on who your scrutineer happens to be on the day. THe whole Specials and like machines is a very grey area.  CAn you keep me in the loop Oldy as if its a goer id like to freshen up a few old girls i have store for a rainy day and let em hit the track again in 08.

Love ya Work :O)

Oldfart did you get a ruling ?

[oldfart]

no ruling yet .

I had a good chat with D.T about a month or so ago and informs me that a TM 1975 bike will not pass full stop . After it was explained why it made sense
By the time you move the shock mounts - change the swing arm - and so on I came to the conclusion  stick with what I've got ride and enjoy it 

[Freakshow]

yes the runling was 1974 is still 1974 and 1975 in this case is still 1975  :O)
