Moving to the next step of my rear end makeover. I want to keep the same rear mudguard but rotate it forwards so that it doesn't drape so far down at the back. Also change the tubular brace for an ally one akin to the brace seen on '60's Harley sportsters.

Had real bother getting the mudguard free from the brace. Got 4 of the 6 screws out on a wing and a prayer. Two I had to grind/drill out. Next hurdles are the reg/rec, which is mounted to the back of the l/h toolbox, will have to be re sited and the pathetic rubber snout on the back of the r/h box also fouls. That I was going to re make anyhow as it's clearly an afterthought.

A section drawing shows a spigot with an o ring on the motor. I'm wantng to remove the motor permanently. Making one in a vice would be difficult (Not impossible!). Otherwise I'd have one machined up.

Post by: Smithy on October 19, 2018, 07:20:14 AM: It certainly is a very prudish filter. I wonder what would happen if Hitch*******s were based in S*******horpe?

Ian

Well now we know!

Post by: Smithy on October 19, 2018, 06:38:29 PM: Hitchdicks gets my vote. Does that work for every word with cock in it I wonder? Dicker Spaniel? Dickermouth in Cumbria. Plumbers would fit balldicks and so on and so on. There that should give the filter something to think about.

Ian, every time order it from Aluminium warehouse they deliver it so yes, the supply of ally is inexhaustible, it's my money that has distinct limits! 😂😂. I'm still working off stocks I ordered for another project. 😱. Glad to hear you've "re-clicked" with the mighty Enfield (😂). Long may the good times roll.
