Yes, putting back the F10a looks like the logical thing to do. It's tired though and when I bought it I drove it from Slough to my place in Worcestershire and it struggled on even quite modest inclines and dumped its engine oil so quite a bit to think about.

That said, it has been really well looked after and the body is rock solid, including the boot floor that you mentioned. I hope it has a bit more energy once we've got the engine sorted. That said, I'm not expecting speed!

An update on my SJ410: we've pretty much sorted the engine out now and were just at the point of setting up the carb when we realised that the back box has popped. Not something that can be welded, so my question is does anyone have one? (Will post separately in the right section of the Forum for that), if not can anyone recommend a supplier and also are there other Zukis that use the same exhaust system/back box? Thanks folks. Nearly there now!

Hi Scottie, sorry for the late reply.

I'm in Worcestershire, not a million miles from you. If you do have a 410 back box I'd be very interested. Cheers, Michael.
