Worked out well jonsey, as I said shes a factory predicta....all correct even the skirt bolts have their cups. All the bits you couldnt see when you bought it turned out accurate. Smiley face is fine, red or black is ok....oil nips are press fit, ,gently prise them out do the damaged one first and be gentle. Yeah 150 is a good price, Although its a predicta its still missing its goodies, but a very good early example. Id put its current value around 250-350 as is. very pleased we have another in the forums...love it! Also we now know the nips went longer, but id say yours is definately one of the last....and no slit! 1 more thing I forgot to mention...with the nips and non slit early run predictas..had the height adjust housings in hammer tone colour as well.All the following models were plain alloy..now you know everthing their is...enjoy!
