I wish i'd done that before getting mine re-plated. I know for future now lol. Glad you have it in hand pal.

Remember if you brace (weld) the barrel it will distort (amount of distortion will depend on whether barrel and brace were pre-heated before welding). The barrel (crankcase side) will need to be skimmed to get it level again. Should only require 0.1 to 0.2 mm but will put your port timing and squish out requiring a thicker base gasket to bring things back.

Yes Mark is correct, the welds pull the base a small amount, so the bases do require skimming. Barrels are away again at my engineers being worked.

Nothing exciting, just tidied the throttle cables up with some ferrules.

Water pump also arrived, so I've made a start on attaching the coolant hoses. Need to wait until the head arrives before I can finish this job though.

Brake hose on, exhaust fabrication scheduled for Friday

hope you cut of the mount for the drain pipes ,or do you need that lug ?

No I was going to ask the file to take a look at it Fred

Made a little more progress with my exhausts today, everything is really slow going at the moment.

Ben if i woke up from a wet dream and thought exhausts! They would look like yours.
Brilliant, just as Bernie drops off the polishing, you pop up with engineering innovation.

Thanks Steve, I'm trying. The polishing will start when the engineering finishes

Hi Ben,

Some fantastic quality work there Ben.

BUT the radio really caught my eye

Cheers

That radio isn't mine, it might be older than me...

That expansion chamber looks nice and tight under the bike )

Those are the lomas pipes Shaun. I just stuck them on to see how it looked, as my custom pipes won't be finished until August. Just got too much else on at the moment to work on them.
