A bit more progress. I glued the horncast and mudguard back together with super glue along the original glue line, and strenthend on the inside with a bead of Gripfill/ no nails :D proper job :D

Im a bit stuck still on the flywheel :cry: so i decided to put the engine back together and look for a flywheel in the future. The switch is unrepairable so i need to look for one of those as well.

So ive got the engine back in :)

Well its been nearly a year since ive posted any progress with the lince, ive been to busy with other things to do much on it, so its had to wait .

As i couldnt find a Lionelli switch, I got a CEV one from scooter restos which after a bit of rewiring i got working correctly.

I managed to get a flywheel from IOW rally parts fair of all places :D

The engine when i rebuilt it had a crack on the transfer port , i only noticed at the last minute :( so put the engine back together and thought id get it repaired at a later date. Anyway this was playing on my mind so last month i stripped it down again and got it welded :)
Image
And ive just managed to get a seat as the original one was missing the lock. The old seat is of sheet metal construction and the new one is a sprung seat just like a std seat, so not sure which one ill use yet, i may just swap the lock over :)
Image
So all i need now is the registration
