Hello Shaun,

Its hard to see from the pictures but it is a totally different profile, it's ok though and I don't suppose anyone else would notice. The outer edge has been altered at some time to incorporate the outer curve and the rear has more of a flair to it.

No I don't think so as there is less room between the top of the tyre and the passengers side mudguard than the correct one on the drivers side.

I decided that I would repair the tilt sticks before disassembling it all and am I ever glad that I did. To do it, I had to take the windscreen apart and found that it had been welded shut and is in pretty poor shape. The tilt frame locations, either side of the windscreen frame, had been repaired but at different levels which put the frame on askew. The observation hatch was a bit of a problem as I didn't have any dimensions.

But as usual, I got there on my own, in the end.

One interesting discovery, to me anyway, is that the anti vibration pads for the radiator and the rear of the driver / passenger compartment are made of a fibrous material which appears to be felt, I had assumed that it would have been rubber.

The first batch of components sprayed and drying in the afternoon heat.
