Yes-still got them Howard-and done a bit of restoration. I did want to rebuild using one of the CNC crankcases available in the UK-but the guy wanted far too much for it-well more than the going price for a complete Comp Spl on Ebay, so didn't pursue that option in the end. Here's another one I've restored-the tank, tank top, NVA, spinner, and the ancillary brass bits plus the reblued comp screw are all my efforts. The tank and spinner took a lot of work...

PS this example is one of the aforementioned ones with an unaltered 'Mk III' on the front housing.....
