Hi everyone, I made a few choke and throttle brackets that are hard to find but needed on the carby to hold and direct the 2 cables. These are another quite fiddly but important parts. I will keep my templates.

Hi everyone, I've been extremely busy doing other things lately but Here's a quick update on this carrier.It's almost done and ready for pickup next week. ( I'm sure he knows who he is ) A bit of wiring and tidy up and it's a goer.
Colin.

Hi Colin

The carrier looks terrific. I was just wondering if this was the same carrier I drove my Jeep behind at the Jamestown re-enactment last October.

Cheers

Tony

Hi Tony, no that's not the same one but that one is in my shed.
Jan, I'm sure he will have a lot of fun driving this one in the parade at Corowa.
Colin.

It has arrived at the destination. Looks like David, the son has claimed it. They arrived home around 10pm last night.
