Collected a frame at the weekend for my project. Bought a Ford Radiant Red as well... I am planning to sand down to flat finish, do a layer of white primer, then Red then probably a final coat of lacquer.

I hope it turns out as good as yours as my painting skills are not that great...

Wish me luck!

regarding your fuel connectors. Triumph do them. Reasonably priced as I recall. Might have a couple somewhere. In my experience it is the gromit that breaks not the male connector or the female connector (typical)

In the crash the tank ripped off and snapped them. Nightmare

Well i got another load of bits from Ducati Leeds which i hope will just about get the bike done.



The starter relay was fooked before the crash and sitting for five years hasn't helped. The new one looks just the ticket.



Also got the new quick release fuel fixings from Tom Parker. Had a nightmare getting the "right ones" These will do the trick though.



I decided to treat myself to some frame bungs from ebay. Very happy with these





I also picked up a screen.



I even managed to get some oil and coolant in her and fired her up for a while. So far so good!

Just some odd bits to do and then an mot. Paint will be done over winter. I just want to have a run out before the weather really turns.

Hope you're sitting down mate :0)

Female fittings cLCD100040V 1/4" BSPT with shut off valve - Viton seals

£14.95 each + vat

Male fittings cLCD230-06V 3/8" with shut off valve - Viton seals

£15.76 each + vat

Toal with postage to me was £79.64 which stung a bit but they'll never break.

Plastic ones are half the cost. The thread in the tank is an NPT thread but CPC have never made fittings with an NPT thread and Viton seals. It seems that the BSPT thread is the same type but the sides are a constant width. The NPT threaded hole gets smaller as you screw in. I added some ptfe tape and wound them in tight. They seal fine so in not bothered. I'd rather know the seals wont give up.

I got them here www.tom-parker.co.uk 01772 251405

Hmm... seat bracket? Seat rubber clip thing? Headlight adjuster screw and spring?

You should have asked - think I have a few of those bits kicking around!
