No mate I'm having a sealed one behind the passenger seat - if you want one give tom a bell as I'm getting it thru him.

Can you guess what it is yet?:

Went here, glad I removed it as it was rusting behind the bracket:

Grindered, wire wheeled back shiny, etch primer, high build primer and a few coats of colour:

While the carbs were off I thought it would be silly not to give them a clean. I think the jets need to go up a size too but random photos of bits first:

empty bottles of savanna dry cider put away first i see ;)

aye no point taking pics of empty bottles.....! you left fosters as well - but that will still be there next time you make an appearance, i dont drink it:thumb:

After having to wait for the postie the carbs are back together - new fuel resistant hose, carb bowl, trumpet and cap bolts all replaced with stainless cap heads and a good clean:

Bit of progress on the head rebuild, had new guides so had to ream them:

And cut the seats (once again thanks to tom for the tooling and tutorials!):

I seem to be going backwards with it now rather than forwards - every time i go to the garage I make more jobs.....

Anyway my megajolt hard rev limiter turned up so soldered up and installed that:
