    there seems to be clearance still, I'd say about 1 1/2" or so, the wider track you can tell but not a lot from appearance! I'll nip and measure the gap on Monday post up

    Went down to the garage where Major lives and he was looking neglected and ready for a good wash and brush up. Gave him a good wash down, clay barred all over, washed again, chamois leathered dry followed by a liberal polish with Auto Finesse Triple 3. He looks much better and ready for a good run, he's fully serviced, MOT'd and ready to go :thumbsup:
