12th/13th July?

Might get it done through the week on my own but its much more fun when there is a few who know which end of a spanner to hold... also someone who has had an S1 clam off before would be helpfull..

Might be free to lend a hand for this :thumbsup One good turn and all that :wink:
I will probably need to change the rad on mine before too long so it would make sense to have a look.
