Done a bit more today as i haven't been able to all week.
knocked up a bracket to hold fluid pots and a connector plate so i didn't have rubber pipes go through the bulk head, so i can just have short rubber connecting pipes.
Also managed to convert one of my front legs into a coil over unit.

Another couple shiny bits
Got my hydro clutch bearing conversion kit today
so i can get rid off that bloody clutch cable that was always rubbing on something
And what a nice friend i have got! he gave me an old steering wheel he had laying around

Hope to get some more done on the weekend.

Cheers Steve.

Well i have got plenty for you to do!! Boys
Made myself a inlet manifold to run some bike carbs this afternoon. Decided to make it out of steel and give it a nice coat of gloss black enamel Hopefully should look good with some blue hose!.

Haven't got any idea! i only wanted to spruce up/tidy the front end, but as you know, a slightly bigger piston here, a different cam there, and a touch more fuel,and before you know it your pocket is empty.As long as it go better than the old smoker that was in it before.

I am now beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel! old eda kicked into life today but not without a couple of problems :blink: ie fuel leaking from fuel sender seal, bob weights chattering in dizzy "god knows way it was ok before", and bloody starter sticking when it wants too But she started and thats all that mattered today.
big thanks to those that gave a hand when i needed it "Steve,twins,"aka Dave&Stu" and warren "you always have got to have a supervisor"
And a extra thanks to the twins for cleaning my icecream van up today. "top job"
