Bonnet No2 gave me some grief as the blue paint wouldn’t move with paint stripper so i had to use a hot air gun and scraper and finally going over with a drill and sanding pad. This afternoon Steve came down and got the new tin all cut and clamped ready for welding. Looking good.

Quick little fabrication project. I repurposed this 3 wheeled walker thing that my grandad got his brother as a joke present . I didn't use any of the original tubing as it was quicker to use square stuff we already had. The bottle sits low down over the back wheels for stability. The old adjustment knobs were used to attach the chain, works well. For the novelty factor I used the handles makes it easy to push around. All finished, its proved very useful so fair when moving it between workshops! I might add some bars on the sides later to hold the welder and plasma cutter on properly. Works well enough without them though

Will I finally got time to get the cove that Clint sent me done. Thanks again Clint. after a little work I think she will look pretty good a little fiber glass a little bondo and a lot of sanding. still waiting on the decals but should be here soon.

Nice work chris and steve

Exactly as it would have been in the 60's, as shown in this Speedy Sprayer brochure (no O&R's present). David

Fix’em all, I like the look of the barrow attachment on yours. Had a quiet day at work today so I decided to start fabricating one for my Gemini.

Top Job Ewan

Coming along nicely Ewan, nice work mate.

Good idea, Ewan. Neat job as well.

Very nice work again by Messrs Sutton Snr and Jnr.

Next part of the rebuild was to fabricate a couple of parts. One of them was the part that the hood fastens to. This is the only picture I could find of this part so a bit of guess work was needed. I made up a bit of a template to test fitting first. Heres what I came up with. On the picture it looked like there was a piece of round bar welded on as a bit of a strengthener so I welded that on later. Fortunately I had the original choke and throttle controls so fabricated the brackets for these from the photo. All sorted out, looks just like to original so i'm happy with that Last job was to make a battery tray, it didn't have one originally but Its more secure.

Got it all together with Terry's mount, which will get painted silver hammer tone once it warms up a bit. The belt on there fits but a shorter wider belt will look better.

Bonnet fits on 2 pegs so you have to spread the bonnet to get it on, and it cracked one of the repairs that I had done 😡

With hair.
