I had to make a couple of spouts which were made from an old exhaust for the bends and I machined up the tops for the caps.

Once again you just can't fold from one end as the shape requires a sequence and some had bending as well.

Both fuel and water tanks are completed as well as the internal fuel tank supports with the felt. I needed to get these parts done so I can close the back in without having to diss assemble at a later stage.

Looks great and I love following along. I jus have a technique question for you. In post 611, photo 4 what are you using the bead roller for? Is it for adding the hem? Just curious as trying to do that type of edge has been difficult for me in the past.

Hi Jordan, yes I am, I folded as far as I can go on the panbrake which is about 120deg and then through the bead roller to flatten completely and it does a great job.
Both tanks are fitted but I just need to finish making two caps for them but as it is around 42 deg here at the moment I'm going to call it a day and have a cold beer

No nothing special, just two flat ones.
