FH - little bits

 A short visit to the workshop today got a few little bits done. I've removed the oil tank and fitted a bolt into the seat base above it, and I've tightened up all the seat parts now so that is secure. Unfortunately in putting the oil tank back I cannot refit all the earth cables - I will have to remove the toolbox again to be able to get to the bolts. I do however have to order the voltage regulator to rebuild the RB108, so that will entail removing the toolbox.


Tidying up the bench I did manage to find the inspection cap for the gearbox so I have given that a bit of a polish on the wheel and refitted it.


I've terminated the HT cables and fitted the plugs so they are ready for first start - so that's oil, sparks, compression and a kickstart. All I have to do now is bolt the carburettor in place properly with some gasket sealant and I will be able to connect up a temporary fuel supply and give it a kick. 

This next bit is the rubber cable tie for the front brake. It doesn't fit properly because my mud guard with its repairs is thicker than was originally intended so what I've done is to increase the width of the groove in this rubber piece, so it should now fit.


The last bit today is just to record that the frame clip behind the oil tank has a new half inch long bolt specially made to complete the fitting of the oil tank.
