Subject: Re: Need air pump/rail for 'TR6
british Motor Works ( I think is the name, I'll check if you would like),
made an air rail for my Spitfire that just plain SUCKS. But it did get
the job done. Anyway, it is possible to make an air rail out of copper
pipe and whatnot. In fact, if you end up making a nice one, I'll
commission you to make me one that actually looks decent. Where are you
located anyway? I'm in Thornton.
