Bill’s just about finished now, engine detailed and control cables fitted. The sediment bowls have been rebuilt with new rubbers and seals and new fuel pipe
Decided to go with the pepper pot exhaust so pipes made and fitted, bonnet fitted and decals all done.
Many thanks to Titch at Machinery Decals for a superb job.
I did say it was only going to be a mock up, if i used a stack i would cut it shorter and put a support under it
Nothing looks worse than a stack pipe that isn’t straight
Exhausting day, can’t leave the original engine silencer tucked under the hood so I’ve got 2 pepper pots or 2 stainless stack pipes which would look nice polished up and maybe a bit shorter.
Your opinions please, i like a bit of bling myself.
Started putting Ben together today and I needed a couple of shift lever boots, I found some on fly bay at £18-75 each
Looking around in the shed I found a rack gaiter left over from a job that fitted perfectly ( with a bit of lube on the stick ) back on fly bay searched the number and a pair for £7-30 a pair , umm guess what. ?
Just spent the day doing a few little jobs before painting begins and replaced all the transmission oil seals.
Nice little package arrived in the post from Machinery Decals, Titch is really top man for Wheelhorse decals, I’m really pleased with the.
I think they will really add the final touch to the build.
As the day finished yesterday i had a final check that all the fabrication was done and I’m quite pleased with how they look.
As the day finished today all I’ve got is a big pile of bits.
