Today I acquired...........

[magnet]

Brother gave me a green MZ, pretty sure it was a 175cc same style, if felt massive when I was 16.
Felt massively uncool as well trying to pull the birds & trying to catch up with the LC350 brigade - I'd have it back tho.

Aye you wouldn't be found dead on an mz back in the day. Thankfully being cool and fitting in are no longer a priority.

It has to be mine
Waiting for a seller response wish me good luck

A couple of packs of Kinzo paintbrushes, £16 for 15 brushes. Not as lovely as a good brush but much better than the usual disposables.

Springs arrived from Harlow springs. Identical to the original ones. Really impressed . Have asked if possibly they used to make them for Hitachi Seiki because the similarity is uncanny

Can't tell from the angle, air cooled or water cooled?

I bought a load of 1" wide brushes for a few quid - embossed with 1" on the ferrule . . . measured a nice round 20mm across

Still do exactly what I wanted them for though.

Not a lot you can do different if the rate, the wire size and the ID or OD are the same - same old Hooke's law applies to whoever makes them.

Air cooled FSM
Dashboard tell us is an FSM
Front fenders tell us is post 1987 because their wider arches the same of the bis water cooled with 13" rims
Windscreen frame tell us it's air cooled do to the lack of vents for the heater.
Rear vents are deceptive cause they seem to be the narrowed style typical of the earlier models.
FSM usually have bigger vents because they used the same parts for the bis which has bigger rear vents.
Colour if is its original one tell us is one of the late production 126 for the Italian market.
Shame it's impossible to find the IE version of this one which was the happy ending FSM maluch Polsky FIAT 126P .
Produced in bright colours like green Yellow Red and orange in the late 90's early 2000's
This model has EFI and CAT

Anyway seller didn't give me a response yet, I'm kinda upset

Kerist, they must have jigged it up on that worn worktable the other day.

Today I received my first Top Cat and a Power Bank with a cute Paw.

But still better shut lines than a <brand>

Proper job

I’ve got some production work coming up that involves springs which I will buy from them. Not that I mentioned that when I enquired about these.
