..okay...few adjustments to sort, but ran there & back with just a wee weep..

..rockers re-shimmed; tappets adjusted - rattles gone ..just a rumble from the fan bearing to sort..

Sounds like it's almost good and ready for some serious show season miles!

..yeah- gonna run it up the strip when i'm 100% confident in it ..just not looking to break it too soon!

the box weeps a bit, but i'm thinking that it held together through plenty of high powered abuse in the past, so it'll survive my pussy-footing around..

..still trying to find out what spindles it has on it , so i can start looking at discs.. ( last 'European' owner added them, i think..)

..spindles prove to be 60's..
..adjustable springplates & t3 brakes this weekend ( time allowing) & new kickplates & more rocker fetling..

hope weather's good..

..suspension & rear brakes now on..

-moved it up 7mm on the adjusters since this pic, so i have SOME suspension movement at the rear..
-engine now rebuilt with a new FK8 & giving 118.4 bhp & 118.9 ft/lbs..

Nice useable power in a bus!

Yeah the rear looks good in the pic but is a touch low for road use. have you got short axles on it?

..no they're long; take the T3 drums & plenty of thread beyond.
Have scraped the 'onboard' silencer, so decided some movement was required, if Germany was not going to be one non-stop jarr!!

..have been looking to sell it recently, what with one thing & another, but looks like i'm gonna hang onto it now, for a while, anyways..
Shame about the clash with the Hayride- i'd like to have pottered along for a look-see..
..looking forward to the write-ups & pics..

Good to hear you keeping it, hopefully you wont get put in that position again!

Is Hayride the same weekend as Peppercorn?
