Firstly, Welcome.
You will find that as a registered user, the search feature on this forum is a particular boon.
On a less pedantic note, the knocklink product seems to be a worthwhile investment should you go down the route of buying a classic scoob.
Enjoy,

hello m8
i dont care what anyone ses about it, but the scoob is prone to a bit of the old big end fail, i've just had mine rebuilt and its not a cheep job £3500 thats with forged pistons rods 0.45 off the head and a few other odds and sods, so the morral of this story is either buy one thats been done with forged bits or get them their reddies out.
