Are we sitting comfortably?

So I had a day off work on friday as we had to have a new boiler fitted, so I took the opportunity to be in the shed.

1st order of business was to reshape the rearset mounts.












































































Next was the under tray, I'd already purchased a piece of metal, 450mm x 170mm x 3mm, made a card template and cut the metal to shape.
I wanted it to follow the curve of the hoop so I heated the metal up to aid bending.













































































































The other end was heated to enable the fold.







































All thats needed now is a nice run of weld all round.

Next was to sort out the mounting of all the electrics, obviously the key is to hide as much as possible.

I mounted the fuse box and the starter solenoid, the grey box is the battery template. 






















Next I mounted the reg/rec, but under the tray so as to allow maximum airflow
I then realised that the CDI needed to be mounted, so this is at the back under the battery, I will make a bracket that holds the battery just off the CDI


I will sort the cable mounting out when the engine is in and I can work out what needs to go where.

Everything fits under the hump.


still lots to do, next job its to look at the wiring loom and see if it's all complete and work out what I need and what I don't.
