Thanks jaba.....just learnt they have 10 ply avail ( prob tho, can't fit em to a "C" .....legally, 2nd prob.....you have to remove your spats ) might just line my inners with a leather strip to give the tubes more protection.
During chit chat learnt they're servicing a 2.2 thats now clocked 5000 hrs, one happy owner. ( might peeve the doomsday brigade ) actually the chit chat was " interesting " ....pity it's not publicly trumpeted.
In the throws of prepping the 160, weez heading NT, then coastal northern WA, to cape levengue areas, down to Broome, then back east via that gun barrel track to Alice, then NQ.
5 weeks allocated, stoping off here n there. ( just another happy jab flyer )
