My gear change was 90 deg out so it is by far better to cut the pipe, bevel and reweld. Apart from being a quick repair, drilling new holes at 90 deg only leaves about 30% of material left. This way you are still using exactly the same holes. The front it almost complete apart from the clutch and accelerator rods and the cover.

The front is just about complete. I just made a few steering rods and some other work in the engine area.

I had a good pattern of the other cam plate cover which also incorporates the battery base holder. These parts are made out of 3mm.

The other side of the battery base is now made and welded in place.
All the mounting blocks for the fuel tank supports were pretty ordinary so the easiest way is to cut them all off, make new ones and weld them in.

Here I made a set of press tooling to make the clutch and accelerater tunnel cover. I have 1 reasonable one left but I am going to keep this as a pattern.
This is just the bottom part of the die.

The top part is the easy bit although it was handy to find the right size pipe. The bottom part was a tail shaft that I sliced down the centre and the top pipe was an old hydraulic cylinder and that was real good because they are usually quite thick and you do need a bit of strength to press the metal.
