      I do want to paint it, but have thought about leaving it how it is as well. Will have to think it over. Real issue is things like windscreen seals and all the door rubbers etc. need replacing. So if I replace them before paint ill just have to do it again after paint.

          Somehow missed your message Tim. Thanks for the offer, if you're sure you don't want it I'll take you up on that. Will send you a pm later in the week to organise a time.

                  Got a couple of hours in the shed this weekend.

                  Mounted the Altezza indicator/lights and wiper stalks on the 180b steering column. Couple of small welds on the bracket from the altezza. I'm not convinced about the plastic surround, much bigger than it needs to be, but will be nice to have good quality new switches.

                  Mounted the Maddat swaybar. Was a pain in the rear (nothing is easy with this engine/car combination). Ended up mounting it upside down to clear the sump. Fouled on the sump and the oil filter the other way.

                  My new exhaust was fouling on the handbrake cables, so i had to lower the saddle a little. Ended up just making a simple modification to the pinion lever so that the saddle sat about 10mm lower. Was enough to give me the clearance needed to the exhaust.

                  I also welded on the nuts for the front bumper, so it is finally properly mounted. No photos.

                    Having issues with the willwood remote masters leaking at the reservoir end. Thinking of measuring up to see if the Tilton job will fit. It's much bigger than i need though and not sure it'll work well there. Only other option i can think of is getting the remote feeder section (where the reservoir connects to) made out of aluminum. All other remote options seem to be too small (1oz motor bike type jobs).

                    Anyone else no of other good options? (Needs a way to be mounted too, ideally that doesn't look like a stainless zip tie/bandit strap).

                      This first job wasn't on the list, but had to be done.

                      These willwood reservoirs kept leaking (alternating, but mainly the largest one). Might of been something to do with different brand reservoirs or might of been the plastic on plastic connection. Either way I gave up on these which meant I needed to make a new mount.

                      Out with the old.

                      This shows the new reservoirs are still higher than the cylinders

                      Started on a job on the list, mounting the handbrake. I need to weld the brackets in permanently, make a new cover to seal the tunnel and have a cable made. It is an R33 handbrake.

                                Do they have a bellows of some sort under the cap?
                                "Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."
