Dry Break finished
« on: 05 July 2016, 10:49:23 am »
Total cost so far about £95, not sure how much it will be for the engineer to mount it in the tank but considering the cost of a real item I'm pleased how it turned out






Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!

Not suggesting it looks as good as the one pictured but not so bad, its only a dummy, the real fuel cap will be under the fuel tank (now just a cover)

My slightly modified stock fuel tank, well no place for the battery and electrics with the new seat unit

Awesome engineering but a bit costly for a cup holder and a coin tray :rollin :rollin :rollin
(I do like it, honest)

Well thats one job out of the way, only 1001 more to go.

I guess you all understand that this has become a bit of an obsession, will try to limit the posts to finished parts only, save you all listening to the voices in my head.

Anyway, not to bad a job, paint just a quick blow over for contrast

Hopefully subframe going on in the next few days, will get my ass in gear after that.

Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

Subframe in place, stock footrest hanger lugs modified to take Harris hangers. Steering lock stops welded on.
