A few more jobs ticked off.

Teddy welded an AN-8 bung on the oil filler/breather, so that's now fitted.

Number plate light needs replacing, but the repro ones are poor quality and don't fit well,

so I found a lens in a box, gave my original one a clean up and reassembled it.

Didn't like the silver bolts, so gave them a bit of black paint.

Washer bottle all connected, so tried that.
Well, when I say all connected I obviously didn't mean the washer pipes....

Oh well, and the three nozzle jets look impressive but only reach the bottom of the screen. Back to the original single jet ones then.

Seat belts

A bit of carpet as a temporary measure until I decide what's going in permanently.

And Jono at Vintage Valley came up trumps with the last piece of trim.

Looking good mate. What’s the front seats you have fitted?
 
Just caught up on it all. Assuming it's moving under its own power now and you didn't push it up the yard. All great work and interesting to see your problem solving skills.

Said it before and will say it again.Your work effort puts me to shame. Still keep collecting bits, need to take your lead and crack on.

Thanks mate, got a couple of running issues but I think it's jetting related.
Just do one job at a time, it's daunting to do a list but if you keep getting one or two things done every time it only takes around 4 years. :LOL:
 
What’s the running issue? If hector worked out the jetting out it will be right.
 
Fine on idle, but under load falls flat on its face.
How much timing is put into it? Are the Carbs balanced and does the linkage open both carbs equal amounts at the same time? What jet stacks are in there?
