Changed it a bit to allow for the accelerator cable.

Just. The plan is to change the screw for an Allen head so it can be adjusted from the side. I am trying to keep the dashpot the prominent feature, and keep the other components around it neat. Proving difficult!

You used to be able to buy chromed dashpot covers, (may have been chrome effect plastic), that slipped over the top to bling it up a bit -or ask someone with a polisher, like, say, Mr Olds, to polish it to a mirror finish for you.  What's the choke cable fitting from? Interesting. |

Routed the accelerator cable this evening. Made a couple of little brackets to hold brake pipe clips. The clips were too tight, so pushing in the cable split the plastic casing on the cable. I have eased the clips using files and they work fine now, will have to put some heat shrink around the split casing, may do that at both clip positions.

Also made a double cranked bracket to pick up the return spring for the accelerator. I got a nice shaped spring off ebay for a Mini SU - looks ok on.

So this is the final look - not happy with the short choke sheath - may take another look at that. i have anothr of the bends i used for the accelerato, maybe I can make that fit. pretty clean look which is what I was after |

That's very tidy Andy -much better than long loops of cable flapping about.

you could use nickel/copper brake pipe as a rigid cable sheath/bend (I have done so in the past). Looks neat and polishes up nicely.

Had a good couple of days firkling about on my build. Following the advice about not putting things like fuel pumps over the dizzy i have reorganised my petrol tank. Moved the weld in pingel boss over to the nearside and welkded up the hole it left a few weeks ago. So now I have also moved the feul gauge sender over to sit above the carb / manifold, as I guess there is always a chance that could leak around the flange.
Having done that I decided to sort out the fitments for the witing to the headstock from the main frame. This is goint to run in stainless braiding, so i made and fitted a nice little terminator for that. I also wanted to brig it out through the bottom of the tank via a rubber gland affair, so i made one from silicon sheet.

to go with this i filled in the large apateur at the front of the tank, and applied filler and elbow grease to get it looking sexy and curved. The tank now drops down nicely and the rubber gland thingy slides up into the tank, finishing it all off
