I just finished a lovely refurb of a Rover/Suzuki 2t and it runs like a dream and looks a million dollars.
I was very happy with the end result, starts fine runs nice and the 4 blade plate with sharpened blades does a beautiful job.
It's now cleaned and polished again in my museum with the VC160's, Mustangs, Corvettes, etc. etc.

I still think ground, knife edge blades are the only way to go apart from high HP slashers. My Super-24 with ground knives gives a better result than my neighbors Chonda-(insert hardware chain here) clone.
Shame I cant do a catcher for a Super-24.

Quality is a direct experience, independent of and prior to intellectual abstractions.
