While I’m waiting for one more part for my clutch replacement on the ‘72, I adjusted the valves and cam chain tension. Would have installed the E-type tensioner on Patience but wanted to watch Jim’s team win.
My Happy PlaceMoved Taffy to a new lock up location; together with my tool armoury.
Finally got some proper space to set up my workshop.
Will need a portable generator to provide power source; I'll buy new for a few hundred of His Majesty's finest ££££
The Brat will be moved to this location also in a week or two
Have to say the 'Storage' game is a right earner; 160sq/ft shipping container £185 per month!
Pictures to follow.
No electric mains power. No water supply. Outdoor beer/wine cooler dont work!
Its a good idea, and one I may persue in a few weeks when I get to know the nieghbours. Most of my tools are battery operated Milwaukee kit; so I should be OK. I may also consider a portable petrol generator for a few hundred £££; provided its a quiet running one?Really, not even with the neighbor? Surely he has a tip box and you have a cable drum : )
No, seriously, a good friend has the same problem and he was able to solve it this way with a neighboring small company
provided its a quiet running one?
I’ve used them before, PROPER JOB very good company who know their stuffRaymond, I’m using pittedforks.co.uk. They are in Luton ,Beds and provide a pick up and delivery service as part of the price. it’s a hard chrome application. Give them a call, they seem to be nice people.
Just epoxy primed all the bits today & will start sanding on SundayJust order the paint & stuff for the bike. I was thinking about having a crack at it myself, but it's a bit expensive if I stuff it up, so I'll drop it to the paint shop we use for work. I can blame them if it looks crap!

My mate built it himself, a plumber by trade but he's one of those people who can do anything very well, except electricsI like your paint booth!
For no more power than you'll need Adam, maybe look into a portable power station? Granted, they ain't cheep, but bein' able to charge it at home and use it in the "shop" has some pretty good advantages.Its a good idea, and one I may persue in a few weeks when I get to know the nieghbours.

Great bit of kit Jim; and yes it’s a bit spendyFor no more power than you'll need Adam, maybe look into a portable power station? Granted, they ain't cheep, but bein' able to charge it at home and use it in the "shop" has some pretty good advantages.
No idea what's available on your side of the pond... just snagged this one off the web as an example.

I feel a bit guilty asking him to help as he's always busy but I couldn't justify the amount of money spray painters wanted even with me supplying the materials. I am doing the sanding down to make me feel like I'm helping & it should turn out OK under his instructions.
Trying to have it back together for a Historic demonstration at Broadford race circuit during Easter
What gearing?I was out, trying to get this hunk dialed in with jetting, but managed to ride a few decent wheelies, no slouchers either, a good 60-100ftrs :d.. Its close but not right yet, still aggravating me, fuk.
Done! I think it looks OK.View attachment 262006All sanded & ready for painting tomorrow night
