Hi Ian, Just to thank you for your notes on the stator tube. Finally got a free afternoon to go through the possibilities you described. The longer stator...

Hi Keith - I have forwarded your request to my son who lives in Perth WA. He's a bit of a car nut (MG's not AS's!) and I'm sure he will know. I'll let you know...
