    I was the owner who had this conversion first carried out. I bought the parts from John Pearson in the UK in the early 1990s. The body then was all-aluminum, I suspect it still is.
    Anyone know where she is now pl;ease?

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
