Barney:-
Are you sure that just boring them out would work? I wonder if the relief
holes would be in the right place and the right shape after you are done,
not to mention other nuances of the cylinder of which I may not be aware.
I don't know if British Racing Green has any more used ones, but Jarl
indicated he could whip up a few new ones on his lathe if there was
sufficient interest. I could not find new ones anywhere, Moss doesn't even
give them a part number.
