I saw that one starting at 300 quid.... thought it was a bit steep myself for what it is.... didn't look at it in much detail was just put off with the starting price...

There's a nearly new 070 that's popped up on eBay just now , you can fit the 090 pot and piston !

You're right that it can be converted, but there's a bit more to it than that.

 

The one I'm really after is the 090G Super, which is an unofficial dealer-converted 090G with the 090 pot and piston fitted. I fancy milling with that one!

Is it possible to find the 090G pot and piston and fit it to a regular 090 ? How big is the bore ? Mines 66mm ? Lee

The 090 is the big one (137cc). The normal 090G is an 070 (106cc) with a reduction gear drive, so it's smaller than your 090. The 090G Super is an unofficial conversion of an 090G to 090 spec. It was apparently done by some US dealers. You have to change the barrel and piston and I think some mounting bolts. There's a description of how to do it on one of the US sites.

if you like living dangerously how about a 1940's pneumatic?

Scary using them, the one I used (not from the 40's) had incredible power, plus there's not much noise so it's a very surreal experience.

Well the 076 went for £460 in the end so makes you 090 look like more of a bargain
