If you need more let me know - the wires to the back follow the line of the fuel pipe and through the N/S box section to the rear lights.

Thanks for that

Never realised there was a difference on the rocker tower geometry between standard and 1.5 roller tip. Always thought it was just the rockers. It didn't dawn on me until I saw the rocker tips nearly on the valves!

Got cracking on the engine today. I would normally advocate not puttingvtge charger on before it goes into the bay but the cub has loads of room and a removable front

Had to trim the bottom off as the massive wheels would have fouled it.

All I Need to do now is tidy up the edges and spay it. Can't decide on colour, bmc green, Sandy or black. There's alot of green in there already, would say Sandy but it's not actually attached to the body. Suppose black would make it look like part of the radiator.

I bought a boost gauge which I intend to customise (of course!). Just wondered if this looks right. It's a cheapo TIM one, surely the needle should be sitting on zero! I bought an old TIM gauge prior to this one to take apart and that one had the needle in the same place Too!!?? Anyone had any experience with these?
