Back on track.......
 Heres the panniers I made,now mounted........
 Lids hinged at the front with a prop fitted inside to hold them open,and locks fitted to secure them.
 Ive already got them loaded with stuff!

RODS build........


And heres the water temp and oil pressure gauges in progress.....
 Used two pods to mount the gauges in.(tow ball covers !)
 Used a modified brake banjo to fix the bottom end of oil pipe to the 't' piece .The tubing is stainless covered plastic brake tube,seems to be the same id as the oil pipe from memory. Could be wrong,but I guessed that I would be making more than 40/50 psi on tick over? Possibly low due to restriction of the banjo fitting and/or pipe,which looks neat,but may not be the right thing for an oil gauge?

Its a piece of flexy gas tube for big industrial set ups. Had a long piece of it,but decided not to keep the rest. Realise now I should have,I was so stupid to throw it out!
 Someone on here (Steve Brock I think) gave me a link to some cheap panniers,that look good.My ones took days to make,and as usual with this one off malarkey as soon as theyre done you can see an improvement you should have incorporated!
 
 What oil pressure is yours making Luke?
