[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 136215, member: 2708"] A friend of mine , Nigel from the Norton Forum has had two of these 1330 Godet Eglis built. The first one, built in 2010, had the Harley starter. This was one of the first of that type for Patrick Godet. At the rally in 07 Godet brought at least 2 estart 1330s, but those used the Grosset starter. I remember chatting with Patrick on the Promenade at Douglas as he and another fellow worked on one of the 1330 starters that had broken. Nigel had no issues with his 1330 Egli with Harley starter. Unfortunately he only did a thousand miles with it over a year, then sold the bike on. Recently he took delivery of another Godet 1330. Both this 1330 and the previous one have Vincent type Hemi heads, very little if any squish band. He seems to ride in a year about the same distance as we WestCoasters do in a weekend, but so far all is ok with that bike. Not much of a test and not much info, except the squish band bit. I don't think you will find T Prince type squish bands on those Godet bikes, from Nigel's info. He is a big proponent of squish heads, but did not come up with them on his 1330s. On the other hand, the squish bands on the Prince heads really take some force to overcome. I'm not sure that any of the existing estarts could cope with the squish heads on a big capacity high compression engine. Glen [/QUOTE]
