Hi Eddie
First of all welcome to the list.. I wish I had known u last year as i was
in your area for a while at about this time..
Didn't see too many recognisable dattos tho...
Thanks for the info on breathers. Unfortunately neither of these 2 drawings
represents what i have actually got - so I am going to look around at the
wreckers today to see what is available.. The drawings will definitely help
tho so thanks again mate
cheers
Mick
PS interesting collection and website
