For the right hand side panel the frame already had a tab on near where the repaired mushroom is on the side panel which was nice coz it was an easy job to make a bracket unlike the left side.IMG_20230502_135339.thumb.jpg.4710a245870503ee726b7103f7679c83.jpg IMG_20230502_135020.thumb.jpg.d710f10833cacf9219cbde29c02d6bcb.jpg IMG_20230502_135522.thumb.jpg.0d323c686b934936a7b92c5b7f512382.jpg IMG_20230502_135527.thumb.jpg.1116c1add27c38b8985cb8758bdd1b14.jpg IMG_20230502_140202.thumb.jpg.03f864f49735e57f7b9c1d2fda704f1d.jpg

Hi Mark, yea I heard that Harris used to get the rubber rings from the hoover shop down the road.IMG_20230504_170646.thumb.jpg.66639effdcf98405f951f5498a66a7af.jpg IMG_20230504_170734.thumb.jpg.4942b19f907dc97c86d66227e3d109bf.jpg

The 5" lights turned up so I roughly mounted them on the top cooler bracket to see what they look like. I also started to make the bottom oil cooler mount. Going to make something that bolts to the sides that directs ait to the cooler like I've seen on some LC's and I seem to remember 370steve did some thing like this as well.IMG_20230504_171723.thumb.jpg.9b7daa1a6dabc41a74ea8f3ed0140040.jpg IMG_20230504_162755.thumb.jpg.01046d56a19cefc390e9ab75367c2532.jpg IMG_20230504_165356.thumb.jpg.38c32a3897047149533cb5d1e99f3489.jpg IMG_20230504_165703.thumb.jpg.0223f3ed7c322904e1b49ad978d26169.jpg IMG_20230504_170116.thumb.jpg.c91e13168f0bb9fbaf499f5f41c520b6.jpg IMG_20230504_170131.thumb.jpg.dfd5b6b1ee97def9da0367031f2f2956.jpg

The more I work on this bike the more I like it and I have a vision in me head what it'll look like when finished. Can't wait to ride it :pimp:.

Been thinking about the light's a lot. Now the 5" ones are 500g each and the 4" one's are 200g so the 4" one's I will be using just because of the weight saving. Now I mocked them up higher and further forward more like the look of Hoover although there smaller. I quite like this look so think it'll be staying.IMG_20230521_114506.thumb.jpg.f46cb6052367962690917888a5dd60aa.jpg IMG_20230521_114801.thumb.jpg.ad73df672de5af6b27ac65d9f6fa1c66.jpg IMG_20230521_132006.thumb.jpg.7aaefca98fbfc2b188d0ecbd95013747.jpg IMG_20230521_130327.thumb.jpg.8c0185f7da54e62e234b8e6c27c45b9d.jpg IMG_20230521_130457.thumb.jpg.ee908819995e17a59157381a5b639c14.jpg IMG_20230521_130355.thumb.jpg.8de66b9b825b55362f9e0ba1f350bde0.jpg

Dymag's came from a mate the same mate I got the Turbo Scratchers frame (NWS frame) from a few years ago. He's an interesting man he's sold some of his bikes of recently and still has a different 1100 Sabsid to ride every day of the week. How cool is that :pimp:
