Onto the main body of the lefthand casing. A monkey spanner entwined with filigree.

Sure is coming along...... Like the subtle ref - Monkey Spanner So who remembers Dave and Ansel Collins with the song "Monkey Spanner" from 1971 ? (they did "Double Barrel" too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmPQFyoXKiI |

Yeah, Tony came up with the spanner idea. I told him it was strangely appropriate. I wasn't sure a "bendy" spanner would look right & thought a normal straight headed one would look better. He told me he's actually got one that shape in his shed so I told him to do whatever felt right to him. Glad I did. That's weird -they played Double Barrel on the radio this morning. Yeah, I remember  |

Main cases finished, ready for final polishing. 2 small covers left to do, (the oil filter housing on the righthand cover & the square tappet cover from the top of the engine).

 Basically a month's wages. Financially painful for a few weeks, but I'll still be enjoying them in 10, maybe 20 years time, (I hope). I couldn't hope to do this myself & if you want quality, it ain't cheap I'm afraid. By the Summer I hope to be riding the bike & Id've forgotten the cost.

Think I may seriously attempt something. Will try to scrounge a casing from someone, wife is "arty" and I'm good with a hammer and chisel, years of breaking off rusty nuts in the bowels of ships must count for something.  |

Think Tony's surpassed himself with your cases Andy. Good idea letting him have a free hand with a lot of the design. Think I may seriously attempt something. years of breaking off rusty nuts in the bowels of ships must count for something. Go for it. At least you must be used to knocked knuckle syndrome. |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
