That 401 looks amazing, I have just fallen in love. Incredible work on that, we'll done.

Sadly I only have £30 in my bank at the moment but have bid the lot. Here's hoping!

Ha Ha, the bearings are made from sintered Bronze which is porous in nature and charged with oil. Over time the oil degenerates / varnishes blocking the pores and in turn hindering the bearings ability to correctly lubricate. Controlled heat is used first to leach / cleanse the bearings of the old oil prior to a second heating with fresh oil to re charge the bearings correctly....a dull answer I know. Here's an illustration:

Coming from someone who produces superb engineering work, that's not a compliment to be taken lightly.

Have to agree though. As with previous offerings, these have 'craftmanship and attention to detail' written all over them.

Really is fantastic to see that there are still people around who take pride in what they do, and J7 comes into that category as well.

Congratulations and I hope you continue to benefit from it.
