As theyre both AKLs does that make mine the ONLY standard Belgian AK in the UK? How many 350s _are_ there? I can only think of six off-hand. Het (Belgian AK), Stimpy (Belgian AKL), that rotten shed (Belgian AKL), Daras Rich (French AK), Tim Jessop (French AKB), Mark350 (French AKB) Well that's interesting  Not forgetting that other eBay shed right hand drive 350

Any ideas?

Re: Belgian built 1969 AK350 'Hetty' samfieldhouse wrote: She lives! Would you mind slowing the enthusiasm down a bit, Sam? I'm starting to get earache along the lines of "Why couldn't you get that done so quickly..." Quote: Caused by a leaking or maybe non existent push rod seal About the last job I did was to have the heads off to replace the pistons & barrels, so it's entirely feasible. I don't recall a leak, though - and I'd definitely have remembered THAT! Quote: Not yet tested:
Windscreen wipers Should be OK - I stripped the motor down, cleaned out and regreased the gearbox - which was full of, well, fossilised earwax... It's an old box. You need to go sideways from third, then all the way forward, not half way forward to neutral, then across and forward. When you come out of fourth, you have to go to third, not straight to neutral.
