Two questions if possible....
Any pairs left?
Whats the maintenence like on manuals. (leaking oil, tension adjustment etc?)
I was going to get a pair of Dave Silvers auto CCTs but the price and look of yours is VERY compelling... as long as the upkeep is ok for a basic DIYer like me..
cheers

Simon, will have 20 pairs just done by next week (first 5 gone I'm afraid). As for adjusting them the initial set up is most important. Plenty of useful advice from members who have used manuals.The best advice I'v seen is to lock off the autos first and measure the lenght of the plunger, use this as a starting guide, some screw in the adjuster until finger tight and back it out 1/4 of a turn, turn the crank over a few times with the plugs out by hand before firing it up, if it is still rattley adjust in until noise is gone, too tight i,m told will sound like a whinning noise so back it out again, when ur happy tighten the locknut. To be honest I would not recommend if u are unsure, i,m no spanner monkey myself but with all the sound advice I have got from this site I would have no worries about getting stuck in, but if in boubt check it out mate
.Its recommended to use a smear of instant gasket, there is an o-ring fitted behind the locking nut but I would use the instant gasket to seal any possible leaks. This should not be such a prob for the front as I,m told a lack of oil here in the first place seems to be the main reason it lets go due to corriosion of the spring (tks again to members for all their help and advice while I was setting up to make cct's, the amount of info some of you have & gave was in-valueable

)
