Big Twin Lid

Post by petrolhead »

I still seek a Big twin Evinrude lid in decent condition to replaces the one stolen off Min a few years ago. It is the swoopy one with an arch shape drop flap in front mid 60's. I have other lids but all the wrong shape and as some of you know it currently wears a Lark square lid.

If I understood how to make pictures upload on this site a picture would be added :hmmm:

If anybody can help let me know.

Thanks

Right... (waves magic wand) - just go here:

http://www.picresize.com/

This site allows you to upload a file and then it resizes it for you and presents you with the finished thing ready to download to your PC. If you choose a width of say, 800pixels in the size box, you should be good to go - try it - you can't b____r anything up!

Sometimes, especially with newer all singing and dancing digital cameras, it is actually the resolution of the image (the Dots per Inch or dpi) that makes the files large. In this case, further tweaking may be needed, but try this site first and see how you go!

Hope that helps.

PS - Just a thought, have you tried chatting to Outboard Spares Unlimited? (01622 817073) - can't remember the guys name but just might have appropriate lid lurking...
