Cheers Micky1mo.

Today i cleared the garage out as it was starting to get a little untidy with gear all over the place so no progress on the body.

Did some more manual turning of a petrol cap mount, i wanted to keep the original flip cap but add a little extra to the cap mounting, will have to replace the rubber seal as it's perished.

Machined the mount tube and clamp ring out of ally bar with 8 counter sunk holes and the clamp ring has 8 tapped holes, cut two cork gaskets 1.5mm thick.

The second image has the original spitfire flip cap fitted, its had a quick polish on the wheel to bring out the chrome while leaving the marks for a patina look.

Tomorrow i hope to have some progress with the bonding of the body to the sub frame all been well.


Well that's it for today see you all soon.
