[TR] Genuine Lucas Sleeve/Rubber for Pre TS50000 TR2/3

[Brian Thomas]

Hi all,

If someone does pick up on Ken Gillander's design and go into 
production, like Dave, I'd be game for two also.  FYI, I did write 
Ken (BFEKen at copper.net) asking if he had any and he responded with 
"None left, unfortunately".

I've copied Ken on this so he knows what we're discussing.

Cheers,

Brian
