Thanks Speedy, Wow, that will be excellent! Your restore is coming along very nicely. I really need some kind of cowl for mine, otherwise it is going to have to run naked. It had a Villier's cowl on it originally, which was crudely fitted, but it did the job I suppose. The old Villiers cowl was extremely rusty and may be past repairing. I'll have to keep an eye peeled for old Popes at the local tip.
