I just completed step 1 of my “totally sorted M3W” mission for this winter. I spent an afternoon and a morning in the company of Phil Bleazey in Lancaster while the Centa coupling with Phil’s improvements was fitted to my engine in place of the old HD unit. I can recommend doing this to anyone that hasn’t yet done it. I’m sure he won’t mind me saying that Phil is old school and a delight to be with while the work is done.

Fabian’s rear sprocket is waiting in my garage to be fitted after the engine’s back in and thankfully my BBox is already fixed without an NVH kit.

After that it’s a chat with Simon about sorting the fuel tank fixings and they will go back in with a new Walbro fuel pump.

I have to confess I’m quite enjoying it all and I know it’s worth the effort to keep the piece of art that is the M3W strutting it’s stuff!

In truth apart from the fuel tank brackets non of the other original items being replaced (above) has actually failed or given any trouble yet so I’m aiming to stay ahead of the curve.
