Your progress looks really good. I remember doing all the same things with my UC.
Couple of things. Your rear fenders on the outside edge should have the folded side cut so that its parallel to the ground. Also the rear step on the left side should have the right side of it a bit longer. This acts as a stoper for the pry bar.

cheers for that buddy, the original fender i copied just had the edge rounded off, i will do some digging and if need be i can take the corner off bud... i didnt make the steps but see how you mean with the extra bit, i can weld a bit on to stop the bar sliding out.

just a bit more progress, rebuilt the gearbox and painted it in the "Grey" colour i want to use for my engine, i know it is not an original colour but i want to paint it that colour anyway.....it can be easily changed if required. I noticed when i got the castwork back from Lincoln that there was a bit broken off in the top, will it cause any problems guys ?
     if you look at the inside of the top cover you will see the three sliding rods that go into the casting. where it meets the casting there is like a hole with a bit of cast webbing over this secures the rod in place. one of these is now missing, will it cause any issues ?  Cheers Richie

The business end of that hole is the other end. That bit makes no difference.
