A little progress! I had a spacer made to fill the gap between stem and bottom yoke, I'll get the stem pressed in and welded in place tomorrow

Made a start on restoring the seat, this a "two-four" seat I got cheap from Simon but it looks very secondhand so a complete rebuild I think

Although the base has some rust and is bent a little from a crash it'll taken to the powder coaters for shot blasting and re-coating tomorrow

Unfortunately the foam is knackered but Matt at caulfield leather can re-foam and vinyl cover it back to new condition

I got the S3 stem welded in to the rgv bottom yoke today too.

Got the top rgv yoke sorted,

before:

I don't need the ignition or bolt fixings so I machined them off, I skimmed the top too to loose some weight
After:

Little update for the guys that wanted every detail of the build

Drilled the top yoke for the riser

Turned two spacers on the lathe, these will be welded to the yoke Monday

And the riser in place

I'm still hunting parts so progress is a little slow, I did get the yoke spacers welded on

And I'm changing the engine from piston port to reed valve, I cut the reed boxes
