Thanks Clark, I am happy with it so far
I have fitted all the hoses I have to date and only need to measure 3 more and get them made.

I still need to run pipes for the radiator and work out the cooling fan fitment. It all fits quite good.

Been a bit of a stretch between posts Finished a few jobs for others including this sentry hut which is going to our local paintball park. I am now working on the turret basket installations. I know it's probably not the right place to put up these pics so the mods can delete if they want.

This has been quite a long time coming to marry these two parts together so while I am waiting for my carby to be refurbished I thought it is time.

I have to use my best judgement how the bracketry was made back in the 30s. I have made the brackets so the stays are easily unbolted for turret removal with or without the basket. I know the original was also done like this.

It is really good to have the now married together and working. I have taken the whole unit out to finish the welding and I will also complete the other one as well. The seats are on the list for manufacture too.
