I got a similar one done by Ken Mclean - even has the same switch. They are a neat fit. See if you can snag the other end of the plug off an old Commie loom, as it makes it neater.

And sorted out some tiny wires to the computer ready to wire the plug in to the new harness

Bit more today, finished off the fuel line at the front , had to fab up a bracket to brace it to the floor -



Made up some studs to mount the coil packs to the side of the donk , used stock side plate bolts and welded another bolt to them

More fiddly stuff, yanked the blower off and cut all the studs to the correct length and made a couple of new ones , more bloody wiring , went and bought a new washer bottle and mounted it up and plumbed it in , put the good side plates and rocker cover on , mounted and wired the coil pack etc

Very neat and tidy Blacky- I'll be quizzing you on that wiring/ battery setup at some stage... did you get it up to Norham the other day?

No mate I stayed at home and worked on this old slapper .......

Haven’t done much lately, been away a lot - managed to get a few things done on Friday, still chipping away at the wiring- got the ignition and light switches back in -


Replaced the temperature gauge, the sender wouldn’t fit in the new head, the casting is slightly different and it was hitting it so had to lose the capillary type gauge and go with an electric type - deliberately bought a non matching one to continue the theme …….
