Default Handles

Rick,
Judging by the price, I think they flipped them from another foundry. I had to cut the shank to length, drill out the centre to accept the stud and then cut a groove to accept the retaining clip. Still, it was worth it to get the correct handles. PM to follow with the details.

Guys,

Finally got the engine covers/decks sorted out and installed. While the manual refers to them as the "hood", the weight makes this term seem a bit pale.

Doubt if it is waterproof, but certainly adds to her appearance.

Peter

Is she sitting a little lower on the back end now, Peter?

Dave,

Doesn't seem to have altered her stance. Took her for a spin and some pictures, but I can't seem to be able to upload them. Will post them once I figure out whats going on.

David,

Doesn't seem to have impacted her stance. Next trip to a weight scale will be interesting.

Bruce,

You're right, those words do sound sweet, however each jaunt turns up something that needs to be fixed, adjusted, fettled. However it is progress, and rewarding when I look at where I started with. With luck, my next post will have a YouTube link.

Peter
