Been doing a lot the past few weeks. I have finished making the bars, which include a plate that bolts to the existing headstock. All wires and cable run in the inside. Quite pleased with them, will put a pic up soon. Also made a little glass fibre pod for the volt meter, temp and oil pressure gauges.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Hi Dobber. Dont think I got it. Some sort of receipt would be good just so I can prove its a legit engine. Cheers

Then turned my attention to the rear brakes. Finally fabricated this lot. The outer tube has to be welded to the footboard like the clutch side is, and the end will be radiused to match the pedal.
I will insert silicon rubber discs into the slots to end up with slightly raised rubber ridges. The pedal itself will be nickelplated.
Missing is the return spring, which wraps around the shaft, recovered from the old reliant brake pedal.

I was unhappy with the wheel spacer / stud extender system i got off ebay. Also the wheels are 100 pcd so didnt really work on the 4" pcd studs. I dont have a lathe, but managed to make this adapter.
Marked it out and then using a hacksaw took off as much material to get it round as i could, then got it a little more round with a 40 grit flap disk in the angle grinder.
I drilled a small hole in the centre and put through a long bolt, which also went through a bearing. plates and nuts were used to clamp the rough ally disk tightly onto the bolt.
Put the free end of the bolt into my bench drill, and clamped the bearing at the bottom.
With the drill running on low speed the whole thing spun securely.
Then brought up the angle grinder very gently and slowly slowly allowed it to becone round.
once i had a nice round thing swapped to a 120 grit flap dick and polished it up a little. Then finally used emery cloth.
To get the centre hole I used a bimetal hole saw, and again took it easy and used plenty of cutting grease.
next job is to fit the new studs to the hubs, and the 12mm studs into the adapter.

Last pics for tonight. I have just got these little parts. The circuit board and wire are a 12 volt temperature sensor. I intend to fit the pressure gland to the bottom of the rad, and somehow put the sensor through it into the water at the bottom of the rad. The relay will turn the fan on and off. The on / off temp is set with the little switches. Hope this will be a neat and flexible way of managing the electric rad fan.
