  3. John Fosters is NOT the in beer in Aust. I recall that when we were in the U.S. in 2014 there was a shop advertising Fosters and the bloke that worked there was very upset when I informed him that the only reason we exported Fosters to the U.S. was that no one drank it here Infact even pigs turned their noses up at it I have been known to tell the odd tall story though

  6. Hello Anthony I assume that my 2249 fuel line were original from the Vac tank to the Carburettor and it runs across the back of the engine block, behind the exhaust pipe down under the steering box along the frame where it's got one or two clips holding it and up to the Carburettor
