Yep. Bulb holders arrived today so I made the internal divider and soldered them in on one. Looks like this might just work after all. Tail stop and indicator. Colours are deeper than they look but the camera couldn't cope with the light.

Cheers guys. Thinking about weird headlights at the moment. Lots of other stuff I should be doing but this was fun.

It's been a long time that I posted anything here and that's because it's been ages since I've done anything. Lots of other stuff and changes going on that have side tracked things a bit. With the latest legislation that is likely (almost certain) to come our way, the speedster, as it stands will become a dodo. I am seriously considering losing a wheel from this project. Either modifying the existing chassis and rear bodywork (not easy)or more likely using the body etc. on a new three wheeler chassis. Will see what happens with the vehicle emissions consultation.

Still not got back to this project. Other things and changes going on at the moment, plus I wont know the outcome of the new legislation till early May. It will probably end up being scrapped, or there is the slight possibility that I may keep the bodywork to use on a re-body. Should sit on a certain 4x4 chassis I have in mind, but I need to do some more measuring to ensure it will fit without needing to alter the chassis and I'm not sure I can be bothered with the hassle.

I can understand your thinking Dave -it's just a hobby & the making's often more fun than the driving/riding, but it would be a shame. If it came to it, I'm sure there are colleges or community workshops or even museums who'd love something like that to display or practice old school metal working skills.

Still not sure what I'm going to do with this but have decided that I might as well carry on with the bodywork at least. Lower right engine cover panel, mounts and steering column cover finished and riveted together. The left side lower cover is almost finished, just mounts to rivet on, then to start on the bonnet sides.
