Well im determined to have the engine in and running and on its wheels by Easter.

So must crack on

Made the rack mounts, over did it a bit (all 3mm plate) It wont be going far!

Trial fitted the front wishbones, rack and uprights.

Cycled it all to check for bump-steer. Still a bit of tidying to do.

Looks good - reach around and pat yourself on the back... top job!!!

Top job mate. The way your going it will be finished by easter,

Hi Big-W,

Hope you're gonna brace those top bone brackets, either with a horizontal bar between the two or with some plate.

P.S. Those ali clamps look really good

Pat...

Yep next job. It will depend on how I mount the shocks.

Yep mounts are good, dont spose you have the rubber bits learking in your garage Pat?


regards warren

Looking great, hope mine turns out as well.

Get an old inner tube from your local tyre outlet and cut it into strips the right width then wind it round the rack till you have the right thickness and stick the clamps on over it.

Hi Big-W.

No, sorry mate, I never got any with them - didn't think you needed them either.

Racing bike inner tube is a good idea though.

Sorry,

Pat...

No probs Pat ........Still great mounts.

Arent those Rally Design clamps? Same as mine. To get the fit right i tried Rubber but they only need a very thin piece. ended up using Pop bottle plastic cut into a strip and wound round once. It wont compress like rubber and is weatherproof and doesnt degrade.

I wouldn't worry about the 3mm for the rack mount....looks and seems about right to me..
