Lew, It was a surprise to me when I arrived at Colin Jones's place in Adelaide, how different some of the Australian carriers are to the ones at home.
Here are a couple of shots to show spot welding. These must be Met Gas.

I had a big day today started 6.30 am finished 2.30 pm . Hand sanded all the engine compartment and wire brushed all the welds prep washed clean up the job hand painted all the edges and then re primed to get a good coverage over the metal . Dale

Can someone tell me when I order parts for my motor , like head and carb gasket sets spark plug leads and other bits which model number and year do I state ? also the best place to buy them . Is it best to go 12 volt or 6 volt .. Dale

Macs Autos in the States. They also have everything in 12 volt including 12 volt starter and PowerGen alternators that look like 6 volt generators. Consider elctric fuel pumps and Jolley Engineering (UK) for electronic ignition and you will eliminate all the hassles of old motoring. Just my thoughts. Ive done that with all my flatheads. Nothing like first start everytime, even after they have been sitting for a while.

Today I removed the rear pioneer plate to have the tail light brackets welded on . Here are some photos . Darrin ask for some photos of the exhausts that Colin set up on my machine . Dale

Thanks for the help with the bearings everyone they are all out now I had to hit a lot harder then I thought to get them out , but once we got the hang of it . It was not that bad four wheel off to Canungra next week to get re- rubbered . In the second photo you can see a complete bearing set in the third photo you can see I'm missing U71 Bearing spacer I also need two outer seals if some-one can help me out with these parts , photo four two axles what's the diff between the two ? one has an waste in the middle plus if I need to buy some spare bearings where can i get them from . Also what is the best way to check their condition ? .. Dale
