I had a couple of copper head gaskets made for a mate with a tiger cub Dan measured it - I drew it in .dxf format - emailed to Paul - who emailed it to Steve...

Hi, I too have a 1967 Lightning. Certainly here in the UK the colour was flamboyant red. Personally, I think this to be a great colour but of course this is...
Thanks all. Terrific! It seems the BSA Lightning was offered in both Black and Flamboyant Red (perhaps among other colours) up until the 70's so I have my...
