    I am glad to see you are getting a replacement head and you will be back on the road soon.

    As the guides are machined tubes then one day when the price of heads is even more sky high somebody will be able to machine a new one to fit at a price less than a new head.




    All I remember of Leeds is a lot of curry houses and fat birds in miniskirts and fishnet tights queueing to get into nightclubs on a frosty night.

  6. Blimey! You were lucky that didn't come apart. Was it easy to pull out of the head?

  17. Stock size is 12.00mm, and I can buy 2, 5 8, and 10 thou oversize guides - But that said, vw liked to knock up custom ones, as I've got a set of reworks here that have custom sizes in that I can't get, so I'll have to make some guides for those heads o_O
