karlfer Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 A chap in Leeds was advertising a Hondo 11 bolt neck, got pulled Tues I think. Fire glow. If anybody is interested, pm me, I kept his email address. I can not speak for him, I don't know him so that would be up to a prospective buyer, just trying to help anybody with this particular strain of gas

Actually they are in kind of a state, both bridges fudged, one has had a fairly bad refret, so bunch of work and parts to go into them.
