[SEL] Major Website Revisions

We have had to make some major changes to the website as the number of
pages climbs towards 7000. There is a new menu page in existence (not
the one that is showing at present) and a lot of the items that were
'buried' in sub-menus have been given their own menu icon and
sub-directory. The new menu page has five-across icons against four
before, and we can go to six-across if need be.

This has been going on for a few weeks now, and we hope to make the
change-over in the next 7-10 days, but a lot of bookmarked items will
no longer work as the directories they are in will cease to exist.

The changes will mainly affect the following sections:-

Technical (Engine dating, factory data sheets etc)
Engine dating has been taken out to a new directory and the factory
data sheets have been split into manufacturer's sections for Lister,
Petter, Rootes-Lister etc. The Technical directory will cease to exist
after the changes.

Carburettors (Solex, Zenith, Stromberg etc)
Each maker has its own section and menu icon, the Carburettor
directory will cease to exist. The Old Carbs section is NOT affected.

Magnetos
Each manufacturer now has its own directory and menu icon, it was
starting to get a bit crowded in there! The Magneto directory will
cease to exist.

Injection (CAV, Ambac. etc)
CAV information has been split into Electrical and Injection sections,
American Bosch has been given a new section and Icon. The injection
menu will cease to exist.

Once we are somewhere near, and have tested it all (or as much as we
can!) we will change over to the new menu but will leave the old
directories in place for a couple of weeks before they are deleted.
The new menus will not point to the old stuff any more by then, but we
hope that this will give folks time to pick up their favourite items
with the minimum of trouble.

As always we will help anyone who has 'lost' their link in the change.
