what i really hate is when you email off about an ad on marks vintage swapmeet site then u get a return email for cost of postage then u get another one saying a friend told me its worth more so i am deleting the ad  .The item in question was a webco spark plug holder and spanner $45 plus $13 postage . cheers chris

Does it have to be a webco. I have 1 at home some were but don't think it is a webco. I'll post you pic's on the week end if you want. Darcy

Phew, did you see what this one went for? Demented! I might start casting them to sell for half that

I have a little fetish for collecting Webco stuff . I've got a couple of different DT1 heads (there are at least two versions just for the DT1) and all sorts of cool gizmo's for my Triumph and Yamahas. Those Webco plug holders usually for for around $50 or less so the Aragon version must be something rare in collecting circles. The biggies in Webco collecting are their petrol caps. I've got 3 different ones, in fact I've even got a Webco gas cap on my Jag. The Hindall project has one sitting pride of place on its AT1 tank.

Removing the barrel of a recently acquired CR125M , supposedly restored and not cheap,and  finding one of the bolts that hold the inlet manifold was turning freely. Hmmm, no big deal I thought. Then I looked a bit closer and there was an araldite blob, painted black, that came away with the manifold. A fair chunk of barrel with half the thread in the bog. Anyway I found that the "totally" rebuilt engine had one pulled head stud and one of the locating dowels in the cases missing. Just hoping the rest is in better nick.
