I was at the 2 stroke meet at Rykas Boxhill on Sunday and on the way everything went loud momentarily like the pipe had come off. I nursed it the rest of the way and upon leaving noticed that the springs on my jackal manifolds had snapped so the pipe was just looseish. I then nursed it home to Worthing and made it, thinking I just needed new springs and some sealant upon feeling up the exhaust port I found my PV had snapped in the middle.

@thump566 pointed me at this thread https://pure2strokespirit.net/forums/index.php?topic=8310.msg81201#msg81201

and @vinny mentioned he's had the same and his suspected cause was a worn bush. I'm fairly confident this is mine too and it's possible I mixed up the holder from cylinder to cylinder during the rebuild so ended up with one end with way more play (if one cylinder's bushes had worn more than the other).

So now I'm going to look into getting the bushes made up.

Whilst I'm at that I'm wondering about getting the holders made up too as they also seem to be fairly rare.

...whilst I'm at that I'm also thining aboutb getting valves made up too as they are even rarer and seems like they are getting broken.

So with that in mind I'm wondering about getting a load made up to make available on here and wondering what people think would be reasonable prices. I'm not looking to make money but more work out if it's viable as it will probably cost some money in setup.

My rough thoughts of what would be reasonable to pay are:

£15 a bush
£50 a holder
£100 a valve (machined not cast probably)

...but I could be well off either way, so I'd welcome some other thoughts.

If it looks like there is demand and enough to get them made at a reasonable price then I'll dig deeper.

If anyone has the expertise, contacts etc then please do chip in.
