Nope not a problem - what I really need is the 11mm splined sections - I will have to extend one to be the 'master' arm and re-drill the other etc.

No probs on the bobbins I have one and a lathe so can make more.

Currently a real pile of bits -

A little inspiration...  ;)
Some of the "Honda powered specials" appear to have suspiciously CG engine styles...

That is the idea - look more like CB lumps than CG - but all the same if it is ever 50% of any of those I will be happy - now who would like to buy a wife and kids to give me the time and income to build the littl thing?

Something actually happened!!!

Built a hot wire cutter and carved out the startings of a tank - do not know if it will be a tank or a tank cover.

Had to use copper wire for the cutter as I could not find my 0.7mm stainless and a violin string was too short.  Will have to wander round the music shops and see if they have a high E or the like knocking about.  Will do a better job, get hotter, stretch less etc.

Pics below.  You will see that the front TLS wheel has no arms, still waiting on GC to send some old CG ones over to act as a starting point - if anyone has any old buggered gear levers with an 11mm splined hole - I have a home for them, CG gear levers also fit and would be a good start - shame the guy I got the wheel from had lost the arms etc - it is from a 60's / 70's Yamaha

Seat is a bit rakish as it is proped up on some bee boxes and is for a 350K4, so too narrow on the nose.  Will block it out and make a mold so I can have on on the CG and one on the K4 - GC are you going to help?

Couple of pics, cannot get in the shed too well so funny angle.  Will have to attack the CG with a drill soon, there is a short in the points wire and it seems to be behind the coils and two of three screws are nerfed...

Sorry, Rog, when we talked the other day I was talking about the email with images you sent me off-forum.

BTW, did the trailer clamp do the job?

Clamp works well - well as soon as I worked out that the bar does  not go through the wheel - the holes are too small.   ::)

Just need to pack the trailer to go on hols now - I think the campsite may turn us away.  Coleman Extenda tent, big trailer, two dogs, more cookers than are really needed, etc etc
