Some new updates from the time the site was down.
20th May: Got all the parts for the lefthand side engine mount finished so I can just weld them on when I go there next time! 8) ![]() ![]() 24th May: Got the engine mounts finished and pulled the engine and transmission so I could fully weld the front transmission intermediate mount and finish the snape of it. Next will be making the enginebay tin so I will keep the enginebay tight from the underside. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hmm.. Been sort of long time since something actually happened on this project...
But it's not lost in the past yet. ![]() This summer I got back to work some on it again... First finished the modified busnosecone so it works when I fit the Superbeetle gearbox 27mm forward from stock position. ![]() Also finally finished the triple Zeniths restoration. ![]() Found and scored a set of 16 inch phonedials. Sold the narrow 7x16 and kept the 8x16 for rearwheels. ![]() Fitted. "Still lots of space..." ![]() ![]() |

Also started to have some MS fantasies so I did some research and decided to buy a pair of Triumph Tripple Speed Superbike throttlebodies, and manufactured a spacer/adapter so they fit bolt-on to the stock manifolds..
![]() Had the connectingrods reworked at the shop. ![]() Restored the heads ready to install. ![]() Dug out the repairkit from the shelf. ![]() Started to prepare the casehalves for joining back together two weeks ago. (Crank and connectingrods mounted in the foiled package in the background) ![]() More to come very soon. ![]() |
