OK guy's and gal's, here is the plan... take one Panther M100 motor, one 1955 Panther main frame, mix in a gearbox and assorted wheels, throw into the mix a set of girder forks and BOOM we have the Saltster..
Mr Sumo of this parish is going to fabricate a rigid rear frame section for the bike to get me off to a solid start. I will be building this alongside finishing the Pickup so progress will be slow BUT it can't be that slow as I have a place booked for Pendine sands in June.. yup I'm going LSR racing... this is a big deal for me and I'm hoping it is going to be the therapy that I need to pull me through the darkness that is losing Hayley.
All I can say is top man Sumo, hope I can repay you one day mate.....

Anything we can do to help Shaun, even if it's just broadcasting requests for parts here on the forum, just shout.
I'll be there on the Welsh sands to cheer you on.

first deviation from the plan, scored a set of BSA B40 forks from a mate yesterday (on loan for now) so on the lookout for a wire jap disc brake front wheel in 18 or 19 inch, prefer 18 if possible... also looks like I may be running Sumo's race engine for this years Pendine....
