Given we were discussing Cornwall, I'd have thought that would be self evident?!

Anyhow, wiki be your friend here:
Wikipaedophile wrote:Crantock (Cornish: Lanngorrow) is a coastal civil parish and a village in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The village is approximately two miles (3 km) southwest of Newquay[1].

Crantock dates back to 460 AD when a group of Irish hermits founded an oratory there. The village lies to the s***h of the River Gannel which forms a natural boundary between the parishes of Newquay and Crantock. The River Gannel is tidal and ferries operate on a seasonal basis from Fern Pit to Crantock Beach. The village can be reached from the A3075 road via the junction at Trevemper.

Large parts of the parish are now in the ownership of the National Trust, including West Pentire headland which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest noted for its wild flowers and rare plants.
does this help? :mrgreen:

very interesting. I particularly like the Irish Hermit bit.

Of course, the very fact that you mentioned Cornwall is dis-acciotiated with Jays wish to move and/or live there. Thus, no connection was made betwixt him/Cornwall/Doc and your desires..................see?

I take your point, also this is BXP, and therefore it would have made more sense if Jay was had been talking a place in Canada I guess!

So it will fit easily then?

Physically it fits, and if you have good/stiffened engine mounts no structural mods are required. Your main issues are reverse engagement and steering arc reduction... Jobbed.

Welding on a stop for the steering won't pass an MOT as it's classed as fouling (well, it was when i looked into it a few years ago. I did come up with a solution tho)
