Multi-grade gear oil; could this be the demise of Gulls...
I recently tried to purchase any amount of SAE 140 oil here in the Vancouver area. All I was able to find was multi-grade which is not much use in a Gull.

Paint from Bill Hirsch Auto
I've made a reference to this in a couple of messages throughout the last two or three months. During that time I've restored a WSPCL and paid particular attention to the paint.

Engine photos
I've uploaded photos to Yahoo of my latest restoration a 1973 WSPCL. I realize some may not approve of minor changes I've made - a black flywheel - I don't like hammerhead paint; and the polished carburetor; it was good enough on my BSAs and Triumphs years ago at show and shines . http://ca.pg.photo...
