Scooterotica

I've gone to install the petrol tank and it's got a bloody pin hole at the bottom where the strap sits. I didn't notice it when I painted it. It must of been sealed by the rubber buffer as there was fuel in the tank when I got it. Looks like I'll be getting the mig welder out then..

Before I close the casing up, I did remove the bottom screw and fitted a loctited stud and nyloc nut. Cheers mate.

Just reading through this,great pics,looking good.
But,I think the reference to the tab washer is for the two securing bolts that hold the nylon pad on.Should have some really.

I've been mulling this over, and have now ordered a tab washer. When it arrives, I'll split the case and fit it. It'd only be in the back of my mind if I don't.

great thread, cracking job on all fronts !

Ah yes, I see what you're saying now. I've ordered two tab washers. I'll fit one to the nylon guide bolts too. Thanks for that, I didn't think of that.

hi 10 inch that was what i was referring to but i like the idea off the bottom stud i am going to do that on my build

Engine, stand and forks fitted. The new mudguard was a pig to fit as the holes were about an inch out of line. I had to drill a new hole and force fit it in the end. It's coming along nicely now.

cracking job ten inch love the flywheel painted black

Cheers Garry. I always paint them black and then rub the paint off the arrow and firing point mark. It helps to line everything up timing wise. Well it does for me anyway.

Are those Schwalbe Weatherman tyres? You're a brave man if they are.
