Not done much recently, been ill, brain scanned, checked for a stroke and signed off sick for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, I have been working very slowly, on days where I am fit enough, and made a small amount of progress.

I did some work to the motor to make it foot mounted. It will cantilever off the back of the chassis between the swing arm pivots so the foot will be sideways. As the motor will be visible I wanted it to look good so, as pictures tell a thousand words and typing is not easy anymore...

The nuts are M16x1.5 Land Rover wheel nuts tack welded into place.







As the nuts look ugly and protrude from the foot I covered them.






All the welds have been ground smooth so only a wipe of filler will be needed to get a smooth look.
The motor is currently with a friend who will spray it metalic red. I took advantage of him doing another spraying job for me to use the same paint colour.

I made a chain guard, from the steel from the back of an old tumble dryer, for my partner's vintage Raleigh Jeep bike and it will be sprayed to match the mudguards.
