My ACU licence arrived about a week ago and I”m just waiting for Straightliners to release the 2019 dates. They.ll be at the usual venues but apparently there’s also some new venues for 2019 too

Cheers bud, it’s gonna sound awesome with that pipe should rev to around 14000 rpm

I”ll get a video up once I’ve dialled in the ignition and carb

The spacer arrived from Holland so I put that in place for now



And with the engingine in the correct place I could mount my pump and a few electrics



Getting there, one step nearer to start up

Trying to sort out my loom and solder things. Anyone got any tips on soldering wire to wire. I keep ending up with F@cking huge blobs of solder. I burnt my fingers three times last night too

when I solder wires together, flux them, tin both bits first, then more flux, hold them together and heat up with the soldering iron and they should join, add a little flux cored solder at the joining stage to help them flow, works for me, good luck.

Cheers mate, I’ll give it a go tomorrow night

New Bars arrived





Mounting brackets for different type of handlebars to be utilised as mounts for a dashboard





Temporary Dashboard Template



Alteration to the frame required to allow coolant pipe to fit



All good fun and nearly there now

PS Does anyone else have issues when trying to view pics with internet explore 11 ? If I use IE11 I cant see the pics, If I use Firefox I can. Why is that?

A friend of mine "Alex" AKA "The Car Kitchen" that also has an interest in Sprinting is doing some ally work for me, pics to follow

Dashboard Mount sorted by Alex,
Serves a purpose and I think it looks quite trick too
