And fitted. Like all the sheetmetal, i'm trying to make it look 1920-30s factory made. Means a lot of tin bashing.

Nicely done Dave. Little touches like that make all the difference don't they -& I think make building one-offs more satisfying.

Very true but it take a lot of time. My hands aren't working as well as they should at the moment so the bracket took over 2 hours to make. Still it's one more thing off the list of things to do. Somehow that list is still getting longer

I wonder if my fuel pump blank off plate could be adapted as an oil filler ummmm
Looking at the fuel pump, realised that if youre not using it you could probably rip out the guts make a new top and use this as a side filler. Just a thought.

Ive got a knackered pump here, I'll take a look at that idea. Means i'll have to buy a facit pump but what the heck, ive spent so much now on this I may as well mortgage the house some more to finish it.

Yep, I jury rigged the engine when i first got it and ran it for about 10 sec, no coolant, no exhaust, just to make sure it could run but that was it until today. Have looked at the pics, no more ideas pleeeeease. And no. The twin disc front brakes are operated from the left handlebar by a Harley clutch master cylinder. The throttle, lights, indicators and horn are all on the same side.

Will be the first place I go to after the MSVA. If I can get the tank sealed this week I won't take it out for a quick spin round the block on Christmas day

Can see it now, Santa suit on and nip round town, the kids will think its Santa on his sleigh I already have the bushy beard but it's not quite snowy white yet. Getting it running is always one of the high points of any build. There are still a lot of small jobs to do but hearing the motor run adds impetus. Have to admit that Deliverance puts a smile on my face every time I go into the garage and if for any reason I couldn't ever ride it I think I would still be happy.
