It`s from the 17-20. May... Have you ever seen a motorcycle or a scooter? Have you ever seen one exploding? You know where the gas tank is on those things, don`t you? There`s absolutely nothing dangerous about that... :coffee:

Here`s the missing update. First i finished the right hand side sheetmetal mount: Then i plumbed the fuel pump and filter: Welded the sprockets: A long list to work: Clutch pedal: Windshield and gauge cluster: Then the fun begins. All that electrical crap has to go in...

Thanks guys... The tank is indeed close to the catalytic convertor, BUT: The cat itself is enclosed in a heat shield. There`s another heat shield on the tank, so it`ll be fine. The engine will be covered like this: First i mounted the tank and seat: Then i started with some sheetmetal:

Thanks. The tire changing season is almost over, so i can put a lot more work into it. I`ll be ready for the event if everything works as it`s supposed to (i have a feeling that it won`t)... I`ll first try it without an idler wheel. I`ll just put some tension on the chain and try it. If it...

Got the sheetmetal for the gas tank yesterday: Tacked together: And checked the fitment: Looked good, so i started with the sender for the fuel gage: Flange: Plumbing: Welded the inside: Added some baffles: Welded the outside:

Finished up the radiator plumbing today: Die Heizung hab ich für`s erste überbrückt: Also started reconnecting the vacuum hoses and stuff. I`m really debating if i should just get rid of the charcoal canister and stuff...

First i pulled everything apart today: Then i started welding: Had to take a break a few times: More welding: One track assembly almost finished: Finished Everything ready to get back together: Finished: My neighbor made an exhaust flap while i was welding...

Put erything on it`s place today: Then i started with the chains: Then i started with the two missing struts: Right side finished:

Got the chains and sprockets today. This is some serious stuff... Just have to drill them on the lathe tomorrow... Then i thought about the shifter linkage: I think i could use some help there... :Wow1:

Yes, nice and shiny...:sombrero:

Finished the exhaust today: I`ve never welded a thin wall tube (0,65mm) like this before, but the weld looks ok: Everything welded up:

Put in a new valve cover gasket. The engine looks great on the inside: Then i started with the exhaust: It even is a Subaru exhaust...

Yes, that's what i thought too, but the copper tubing is about 2mm too big, so it doesn't fit on the radiator hoses... Thanks. I bought the plans from this guy, and this is exactly what I'm going to do if it won't work...

Mounted the radiator and overflow tank today: Won`t be easy to get it plumbed, and i`m missing some ideas right now...

Yeah, i know those things, but i don`t like them. I`d never use them. But looks like the angle i cut is perfect, so there`s no need to adjust it... Got a lot of stuff done today. First we mounted the leaf springs: Bent up some ubolts: And it`s finally sitting on it`s own weight...

Tacked together the rear spring mount and put the weight on it. Seems the angle is not much off, it could be about right when all the weight is on it...

Thanks, but i`m not happy with the progress. Should be much faster... :( That`s because i do have to spend more time at work at the moment, but it should be better after this week... :wings: I already figured out how to build the motor mounts, almost similar to your idea. I should get them...

Got some consumables today, so i can continue working: Also got the leaf spring: This is how i`ll mount the rear one. Of course at the right angle:

Put the wiring loom back together to see if it fit`s or if i have to lengthen it: It seems to fit except of a few small things like the wiper or a few lights...
