I have a seat that's useable but the base has a few holes, PM if your interested. An LC CDI will do the job I believe.

I thought about leaving the cylinders natural alloy as they came back from the machine shop bored/honed and blasted, but then I weakened and did the traditional black paint with polished fins. I had time last night to whip those back onto the bottom end and seal it up, then push those carbies on the back. :)

I actually always thought the Lc's CDI looked very antiquated compared to the YPVS unit. this would make sense if it was a 70s unit really. It is labelled 4L0 tho, so its not an AC unit as such.

LC CDI has a static advance curve, so the CDI would be a very simple unit.

Seen the 250 you got out of VIC with the bent forks, looks like another build thread :)
