I'll check regarding the 14th Pete, I 'think' I'm at an awards do at the Tate that day, either then or the 16th.  Where's the show at if I can make it?

Hi Rusty

As discussed on the dog, I'll see if I have a spare cam in this pile of cra.... selection of quality used parts I got with my car.

If the only camshaft I have is the one in the primrose engine, I'll have to bring it round for a strip down ).

[Rusty's Uncle]

Thought I had better check on the progress with these today and found that the work had not started which was disappointing but had a polite word and they rang me back an hour later to say the work had started 
Will keep you posted.

hmmm i'll try and lay my hands on a camshaft from poland perhaps... but I definitely want a more aggressive cam .

[Rusty's Uncle]

  just had a call to say that the camshafts are now ready and should be with me soon so watch this space

Are all this bis cams spoken for? I'm in the market for one now my engine is stripped down... although I really need to find a solution to my piston/block issue... someone must know of oversized pistons for the bis somewhere .

[Rusty's Uncle]

Sorry I missed your last post poxxxy. As yet no bis crankshafts have been reprofiled, only ones for the air cooled 500 & 126 engines. Most of these are now shipped out to the guys that wanted one but there is still one going spare from the first batch. Potentially there are 5 or 6 camshafts ready for the next batch as we need to get 10 to make it economically viable so if any of you water boilers want in then I need the cams 

[Rusty's Uncle]

It seems that the early enthusiasm for repeating this project with the inclusion of Bis cams has faded. It was always a case of "who dares wins" so there are a number of happy guys out there. The idea is not dead & buried but with current commitments and travel plans I would probably not be able to co-ordinate any more until the new year subject to enough interest

I am able to get sport camshaft to BIS. The Characteristics of the camshaft is typically to drive in the city.
Better acceleration and greater power

[Rusty's Uncle]

I am told that there is still interest in this idea but we are about 3 short of the 10 camshafts needed to make it economically viable. So if interested let it be known

So how much are the BIS ones? If funds support I will be in on this! Just starting to rebuild mine now I've seen some online for the motivation
