 It's not as hard as it might look, but thanks. One of the reasons for doing it in three sections is to make it all manageable and, if you mess up, only one bit goes in the scrap pile.

The speedster is being put on hold for a bit while I do a small project that I have wanted to do for many years but never got around to. A blacksmithing forge.

Not sure how many folk here would be interested, as it's not something you can drive or ride. We started to build one at Lunatic's workshop but as he is moving premises, that's been put on hold (he also has a lovely vintage anvil that I covet). I have a baby anvil on it's way (I need to be able to move it around) but at 55 lb without stand, somehow I don't think the postie will be bringing it.  |

Hope it's not still Heather cos she won't appreciate it when I tell her she delivered an anvil to you!
A recent survey reckons Posties are the fittest profession in the country, burning an average of 1,500 calories a day. Wonder how many carrying an anvil burns up.

Managed to get some enthusiasm and did some work on the car today.
After looking at a Morgan 3 and doing some very careful measurements, I worked out that I could fit seat belts without having to add those humps to the tail.
Upper belt mounts are now in the centre and bolt through the rear wall to a very heavy bracket that will be welded to the hoop. This hoop will also be the tank mount and filler support once suitable brackets are fabricated
All made from 1/4" thick steel plate so should be strong enough.

Fuel filler pipe support made and tacked in place. Some what heavy duty because it also forms mounting points for the rear bracing.

Spent most of a wet and windy bank holiday at the lathe, making the filler cap/hose funnel/mount. I was going to buy one untill I saw the price of one to fit a 2 3/4" Aston cap.
My poor little Myford has never worked so hard.
Waiting for a brass threaded collar, before setting the height (length of top section).
