I've tried! There's only 150 members on there, they don't usually accept people they haven't met! You'll have to come to a meet I expect, I'll keep you informed

Just jumped on a bargain when it came up!
Wasn't willing to pay more than £4k though as I knew you could easily pick them up cheap enough!

They're made by Jenvey, so I'm guessing there made properly 
I've gone for the 45mm bodies which are manufactured to work best with cars above 200bhp |
| From the Jenvey website wrote: |
---
Choice of bore size is a balanced compromise resulting from the following;
1) A larger bore leads to lower flow resistance, but obeying the laws of diminishing returns.
2) A smaller bore leads to better throttle control and response (never underestimate) and improved fuel mixing.
3) The system should be considered in total - from (at least) trumpet flange to cylinder and proportioned accordingly.
Basic references for BHP per cylinder, assuming ca 120mm from butterfly to valve head and a max of 9,000 rpm are;
Up to 30 - 30mm, up to 33 - 32mm, up to 39 - 35mm, up to 46 - 38mm, up to 51 - 40mm, up to 56 - 42mm
Up to 65 - 45mm, up to 74 - 48mm, up to 80 - 50mm |
In short 45mm bodies are perfect for 65bhp/cylinder = 260bhp. You don't think you might have gone too big with the 45mm bodies?

I'm just going by what Sandy has said. I trust his judgements, probably above what jenvey say!

Well, I've never met a dissatisfied customer, there isn't a bad word about him on any of the forums.
I guess you must have just been unlucky!
The guy is literally a legend
