Im getting wheels blasted tomorrow and gonna be painting them white, The chassis is solid, wheels are good, rear mud gaurd is solid, foot plates are good, the only things that are quite bad are what id call the dash tower (1st picture) and the bonnet so i am on the look out for these items but im going to continue with everything else in the mean time.

Started to put together a storage chest for the government issue sprayer plus parts based roughly on the one Spayerman has. Bear in mind I am not a carpenter!! I still have work to do on the interior.

Well the brake spring is on its way from Hugh Page… somewhen…

[vhgmcbuddy]

Looking forward to seeing the progress of this one, not a bad buy at £50…

[vhgmcbuddy]

I will look forward to some more photos, but for that money it looks alright. Well done.

I thought you sent an email with a number password to get me into the new site.

I must be my age and the fact that my missus is in OZ and I am multi-tasking.

where

thanks that a good start to the restoration.

Thanks chaps. As the KLG M80 has a reach of 1/2″, my NGK AB-8 should be fine. The plug is brand new, so the Wico A magneto is probably in need of attention. My engine is definitely the Type 1. Would be interested to know what you industrial manual states about the timing Geoff, as I have set the engine up based on the info in the motorcycle manual, which may not be strictly correct.
