Hello

[Whatnow]

I'm near Wakefield, by the way.  I think my nephew's getting married in Northants next year, although that may be Notts    

anyway south of Yorkshire 

  If you're interested in mechanics, which you clearly are, then this'll be a great chance to learn more about these old classics.  All I'd add at this point is to take your time and use as much as the original stuff as possible.

All a learning curve
