And steer with your knees or teeth, I see no problem

Is €75,- a reasonable price for a second hand Smiths Ø80 revcounter of which the state is uncertain?
If it wont work properly I can return it.

Cheers
Harold

That sounds a lot to me have a look at fleabay or Mini Spares for a new one as a comparison, I think I paid about that amount for my cronometric one but it was ling ago

Day light robbery....

£25 or E30

look for smiths rev counter loads on there, nice boxed unused for £75

I think it's quite expensive too, but around here there are not that much around in comparison to Britain.
Also we don't use ebay as much as you do, we have "http://www.marktplaats.nl", but I can't find anything useable from Smiths.

Cheers Harold

Harold that's a poor excuse we don't have fleabay, or marktplaats here, we have scrap yards full of mostly jap crud spoiled by local 'mechanics'
Ask somebody to buy it for you in UK and post it to you?? any offers to help Harold
John

I know, it's half an excuse!
If the weather is good I'm going to a British carjumble in 1,5 week, I hope I will find one there (if I can't find one before that here in Holland.)
If that's not the case then maybe I will ask somebody to buy me one in Britain and send it to me.

Besides British cars I also like and drive Japs, but not the spoiled ones.

Cheers Harold

If Harold lives in Holland he will have access to E bay and alot of sellers are happy to send to Europe, if he has a problem with that he can pm me, for advice / help

I'm biased my daily driver is Mitsubishi and I have a Honda off road bike, but also have 4 Italian bikes
John

I Now drive a Subaru Outback, but used too switch often.
I had a Honda bike too, a Kawasaki before that.

About Ebay, ofcourse I can acces it, but I hate the payment, I want to use "Ideal" which is very common around here, I hate paypall and never use credit cards.

Harold

I wont use Paypal and I like to advertise that they are crooks, They had money from me to buy a bike battery never paid the seller, never refunded me and do not reply to my emails, they have never threatened to sue me for defamation of their character so it must be correct
I cant bid on fleabay from here, so I have to get a friend to bid for me or a "buy it now" Mostly I am satisfied with what I bought from lots of bits to 2 bikes bought unseen and back here in Kano, I have even bought bits from USA, Germany and Italy without problems.
If you see at a good price go for it, the rev counter in my old Cox was from a Cortina GT and worked well for an ordinary electronic one.
John

I agree, they are crooks.
Ever tried to get rid of their account?
That's quite an adventure...
As long as Ebay wil keep using PayPal and not "Ideal" like every other big internetstore, they won't be big in Holland.

I like the original Smiths revcounter, Ø80mm with chrome edge.
I will find one somewhere for a fair price.

Off topic: John, did you see Max last sunday keeping Rosberg behind him? I still have a big smile on my face.

Super Max is doing well, future champion in the making, and "they" said he was too young to be in F1, I think "they" said I was too old to drive a single seater, but I do
I will snap my Smiths rev counter and send you a picture
john

He sure is a champ in the making! Hitting the wall 3 times in one weekend in Monaco we will forget rapidly allright? (Alltough he went really fast during the race).

When you said you have a electrical revcounter I thought you meant with digital numbers, but now I think you meant with electric control, not with a cable. (Or don't you?)
Send me a pic please.

I have a Scitsu electronic ex my Jedi in the UK and am going to use a Smiths mechanical cronometric here, it must be almost a museum piece by now and probably quite rare.
John

Scitsu looks like this
