grrclark Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Ditchman, once this engine strip down and re-build is complete you really ought to pull all your photos and commentary into a "how to" style online book. I would wager that there are loads of Landy owner's throughout the land that would love to have such a thing. It is a really great thread.

rodp Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 where the hell does that name come from .....wibbly wobbly maybe ?.....................answers on a postcard....... Must be, because we knew them as "wobblys". Unless you put them on an airgun of course, in which case they can become an unguided missile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
