My rizlas are thicker than this metal

Started to align the right hand rear wing, tophat side rail and fuel tank cover panel, had to walk away (went back the next evening ) and had to walk away again. some wicked corrosion/earlier repairs mean I'll have to do more delightful cutting and welding Weather's nice at the moment so the tent's not a bad place to be, might get it back on the road 2018

On the intermediate X member also.

P1000351 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

Clamped at the top.

P1000344 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

lots of room this side.

P1000352 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

a bit tight this side.
I'm lining up the rear wing and the fuel tank cover and trying to get the best fit.

I wondered if anyone had a photo of what it should look like. The tank seems to have diesel in it. Doesn't leak though

Doing a great job there, keep posting pics...

ps dont dessert to FB

I closed my FB account when I found myself constantly(almost!) checking it.

Just for you Pete

P1000358 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

Still waiting for a photo of how the tank is supposed to sit in it's locker, someone must have one

P1000361 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

This must be welded to fuel tank.

P1000359 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

Nice red colour.

P1000363 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

Took pick up pipe off to find what was rattling. Strainer not there but this was.

P1000362 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

Strange thing made out of strange stuff.

P1000364 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

Filled tank with water, just in case!, and welded lug back on. Ready for more football now.

Rear wings are to be bolted on, one side used lugnuts, other, Sean has a good technique for rivnut fitting so did that. will post more another time, need some dinner now
