It looks great. All the old stuff had to come off and be replaced with the alternative (can't recall what it is), but it looks great. According to Malcolm there is no source of vulcanite these days. If you want contact details etc for Malcolm, please contact me off line. Peter On 25/09/2024 01:28, Douglas Barry wrote: > Don't have an M6 and am wondering how do you know its birthday?
