A bit more work done on the tail section... well when i say a bit but allot of time... IMG_2203 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2205 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2206 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr The stainless caps will be smaller and will also be black but i got these ones recessed in ok Just needs to be sanded finer and some stopper to remove pin holes etc and she will be ready for primer... I managed to get allot of crappy small jobs out of the way.. Cleaning up allot of finished parts boxing them all up ready for the build. Sorted out all the parts i need to send of for Chrome, Anodising and Zinc. My Swing arm is almost finished and should be back next week.. Then i can try and finish of the rear brake system as my new Brembo rear caliper has just turned up... Swing by mark.morgan07, on Flickr

A quick pic of the home made panel tools i made from an Old Paramotor engine crate i had laying around... IMG_2253 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr Each Dent or area had to have a tool made up to access the specific area IMG_2254 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr The Flat Z shaped tool i use as a flipper

Thanks Mouse... As i have now run out of Gas and also burst one of the previous welds that will not have to be re welded i've decided to call i quits... The main shape is back into the tank but will still need a thin skim of filler rather than a bucket load.. IMG_2261 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2258 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr I was planning to file finish it until i looked at the price of a body file!!! I Really wish i had kept all my old Panel beating tools!!!!!!!

When you say Done you mean the Stanchions? The Hard Chrome was £280 they Quoted 8 weeks but i think it was closer to 12-14 as they had to do them 2-3 times due to imperfections when Grinding so they claimed... To be honest they didn't really need doing but...
I used A M Philpots

I just hope i don't over do it! I am pleased.... BUT i know it could have been better if the previous repairer hadn't tried the weld on pull out technique... I just need to try the Electrolysis route to remove any rust and old Tank sealant left inside the tank.

A quick install of the rear swing arm so i could mock up the rear brake system and make sure the new caliper bracket and Brembo Caliper were all fitting as they should, I want if possible to hide as much as possible keeping everything nice and neat.. All the Rear Brake lines are fitted and in place.. Cable ties for quick fitting but will be removed and replaced with something else... IMG_2319 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2299 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2318 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr At the moment the Brake union is bolted through the plate but i plan to have the bolt welded to the plate so the outside can be made flush fullsizeoutput_e1 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr The Only thing i am unsure about is the routing under the swing arm and by the pivot point, I have added a small bend in the pipe to allow for some movement/suspension travel and the two way Brake union should be able to pivot on the bolt once i have the correct spacers made up to allow for any angle changes in the pipe.. IMG_2308 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2303 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr I have had the wheel pushed all the way in and all the way out on the adjuster to make sure the pipe would flex/move when i need to adjust the chain..

I Ordered some Carbon Sheets the Other day and had some time today so make up the little infill panels for my Rearsets.. There are a few minor scratches from the dust of the carbon and from offering the infill panels on and off ALLOT!! Another quick polish and there should be good as new again IMG_2347 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2349 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2346 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr

Managed to pick up a cheap tank up, Loads of surface rust underneath and inside. The top looks like it has been Attacked with an angle Grinder by someone who isn't very good with tools but has no filler and only 3-4 very minor dents that should be easily removed with my new Bars.. The tank seems to have held water for a few hours so far but i guess i will see once the rust has been removed if it's still water tight... IMG_2339 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr IMG_2342 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr rust removal by electrolysis is underway... IMG_2350 by mark.morgan07, on Flickr
