Stormin 4,458 #76 Posted January 3, 2015 What no photos Norm, are your battery's still flat Yeah, where's the pics.... Didn't think it worth taking any. But if it stops you twineing, I'll take some tomorrow. BTW. You remember the sideways movement in the diff and drive shafts? Well it went on final assembly with all bolts tightened up. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #77 Posted January 9, 2015 Just a little update and photo's as requested. Yesterday I made a key for the trans drive pulley, to replace the one that was missing. (Pulley was welded on. ) The engine is only in place to line up the trans drive pulley. And somewhere to keep it. This morning I removed the tower from the e-tank, where it has been for a week. There's a couple of patches of stubborn paint that will get a dose of paint stripper. 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 998 #87 Posted January 28, 2015 Been a while since I last saw your progress Norm. Good to see you've fixed the Tranny and had the opportunity to Primer . That Hoodstand looked very sound with no pitting or rot...... they are often well perforated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #88 Posted January 28, 2015 I just wish progress could be a bit quicker, Richard. Weather and health holding things back. All the tinware is generally in good condition. Some minor pitting but no rot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #90 Posted February 12, 2015 Got the hood stand finished painted and in place. The top part is only sitting there while I decide whether or not to leave it silver. Not the best of photo's, but comments welcome? 3 WestwoodGazelle, nigel and slf-uk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #91 Posted February 12, 2015 Looking good. I was unsure of the black look when I saw the chassis but now you have done the hood stand too I really like it. My vote would be for black on all the panels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #92 Posted February 12, 2015 Looking good in black Norm, my vote is all black, or as my mate Mick says "I want it painted black" 2 meadowfield and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
