Update:

Got the rear brake fitted and bought new chain adjusters, I'll have the caliper stripped and anodised silver to match the front

Got the sprockets lined up nice

Just need an 18mm spacer to complete the back wheel fitting

The reed boxes need shaping, I cut a cardboard template to get the right angles

Here are the boxes cut, bent and trimmed, I'll get these welded inside and out Monday

I've made the boxes well over size as I'm not sure of the final position yet, they will be trimmed down as necessary later

The tank, tail unit, side panels and mudguard have been dropped off at 1off-design for Will to do his magic, although I'm keeping the same colour and design he is doing some thing very nice with it.

Evening guys

I got the reed boxes welded up and cut the angles, I also made up the base plates, next is welding the two together and spending all day dremeling them to match the cylinder ports.

Here's how they will mount up, I still need to shorten the boxes by 8mm on the inlet rubber side

And here's what happens when you run at full speed from the garden barefoot in to the house to answer the phone and not pay attention to where the door frame is!

God does it hurt :P

Update:

I have got access to a full size mill, lathe and sand blaster :119: so life just got a whole lot easier.

I've machined 10mm off the back of the cylinders and sand blasted them

I've also fitted helicoils and new exhaust studs

Made a start on porting the base plates to match the reed boxes, should suck a bit better now, LOL

Still a bit more to do but I'll get the boxes welded on first then finish off, one down two to go!
