Does this make any sense Andy? Yes, I know it's completely out of scale! Yep. Makes sense. I will see if I have that or near dimension stainless in stock and get back to you.

Much appreciated Old seat mounts tidied up & blown over in grey primer. A few scrapes in the powder coat to fill, then some black &, hopefully, it'll look like it was always meant to be this way.

Took the tank over to my mate Bernie the fabricator today. He's going to drill out the old fuel tap mounts & TIG weld in the threaded inserts for the new taps, (the old ones didn't have a very high flow rate & didn't shut off properly, resulting in the carbs flooding when the bike's parked up).

Has a hunt for the stainless. Got much bigger and a tad smaller so have ordered some. If it arrives in a timely manner I'll get them turned in a couple of days.

O.K Andy, thanks. I don't do anything else in a timely manner so don't let my stuff stop you doing your stuff, but I'll come over & collect them when you're ready I swear my projects go backwards -they seem to come apart more often than they go together. Yes, that's the seats for my truck.

Unlikely to travel to Basingstoke then! Maybe I could turn the seats into rocking chairs & just sit in the garage looking at the bike.

A smear of filler over the lumpy seat mount welds & a coat of black. Needs flatting back & another couple of coats, but not too bad for an aerosol job -I'm the aerosol doing the job

That'll be Martin from Humpsohn Electrics - he's so much in demand he can pick and choose - and he doesn't like to go far cos people don't want to pay his mileage. But he REALLY knows his stuff, bikes as well as cars.

Strange day yesterday ( yes your correct BG ) my buddy Martin originally told me the sparky ( Martin) wouldn't come to me a few years ago ? And he didn't do bikes ? So I've never used him..in desperation I rang and spoke to his wife.."no problem" she said..he turned up later than she said ,but it was pouring down..traffic.. "So what engine you using in your trike ?" "Reliant " I said..I opened the shed doors.."WOW!,that's nice " I think he thought it was going to be a typical chequer plate,angle iron job ? Turns out he does do bikes/chops/hotrods/cars..but only the ones he wants ? So after some fault finding and a MASSIVE shock from my alternator. ( price went up then ) he left me with some homework to do and to call him back once it's ready ? ..and Andy,he's worked on your same engine in the past ?
