This is a great resource, not only for practical situations (such as
ensuring the mechaninc is not ripping us off) but also interesting.
Thanks for taking the time to put it up.   This reminds me that I offered to
scan the 71 Manual I have here for Everett, sorry for the delay, I will get
it down as soon as my 5 month old falls asleep without intervention. :-)
BTW, congrats Toby, fatherhood is an incredible experience.

This is incredible, I was looking at the Clutch section.  To change the
clutch cable is 60 (I understand this as it is fidgety because of the small
space.  BUT, to change the clutch is 40 and it includes the engine removed.
It is cheaper to remove the engine, and install the clutch than replace the
trigger points?  Underneath the clutch replacement item is the "replace
clutch release plate and adjust" with a 40 as well, maybe the two need to be
combined to make it 80?
