I built my 1984 Craig Schofield replica at the beginning of 2009.

4 years later while browsing eBay for something else I stumbled across the 'Haro Plate' that has eluded me for almost 5 years.

The one I ended up using was a Yellow one painted White

... White's are almost impossible to find, I asked JAY a few times and he's hardly seen any.

It wasnt exactly a bargain but as the only bidder this plate is now winging its way to me.

Once decalled up the search will continue for a single 1.75 Green & Yellow Label COMP II tyre.

Well worth then wait Dave

I've waited years for special things to come up for sale and when they make their way to your house....that feeling is awesome.

Cheers guys... I'd kinda given up hope of finding one to be honest.

The Yellow one I sprayed White had started to crack and peel over the past 4 years, hence why my Schofield 'replica' was wearing a different plate at MK'13.

Be good to see it finally wearing the 'proper' white plate.

Cant believe I forgot to put the chain on at MK...

Fantastic score young Dave

It's an amazing rep

I agree with Ash I've waited years for parts to come up (at the right price) and its sooooo cool when it drops on your door step and you open it for the first time

Excellent news Dave, when you start building a replica you're not happy until its absolutely spot on. That looks awesome mate.

Great result, things turning up also rejuvenate the spark for the build again.
You'll be giddy as a lamb when you put it on the bike.
