hi Matt
great work so far, before you get everything to fit good to your frame are you confident that it is 100% straight?

just for your own piece of mind you need to know that it's right before you go to paint

Thanks peejay

Eerrrrmmm, no, not 100% it's straight. It looks straight, to the eye, and is in good condition. No signs of a crash and no obvious repairs.

How do I find out? What's the ramifications if it isn't?

Thanks
Matt

a bit more tin bashing has taken place:-

fitted the horncasting



and been working on the offside footbaord, looks a lot better now



theres a gap of about 10mm from the footboard to the underside of the panel, not sure what this should be?

and now an ametuer question. how do you stop the rear wheel spinning so i can undo the nut to remove it from the spindle?

thanks
matt

Or if you are lucky have someone stand on the brake pedal.

Hi digger.

Is the photo of something you can buy?

[Nelly]

Take an old wheel rim to a welding shop and show them that pic. Any decent welder could knock that up in a short space of time.

[Digger]

You can buy them - I made mine myself.

been a long time since i updated this thread. work has been slow, but small moves forward

bought some trims so i can check the shape of the legshield, then do a another dry build.

ok in some places



miles out in others



bit of manipulation and i'm getting somewhere close



welded up a few small rips







need to dress them up and make them disappear.

next i'm going to get the horncast and mudguard fit.

More often than not, it's the trim that's needs shaping to the leagues, not so the other way round

Thanks for the info. Do you know if that radius is supposed to stay the same across the bottom of the legshield or does it change towards the edges?

The trim was cheap stuff, just bought for reference.

Thanks
