Sorry to see you in't been well Paul.

So what you got planned for after dinner then, won't take you long to fix all of that lot

Shame you're so far away, I'd have popped over an welded you a new tube outrigger on and helped you with the body.

The weathers getting better now so you'll be back out tinkering soon enough pal.

Oh yeah .. I'm gonna do the bodywork first, otherwise the outrigger tube is likely to be out of square or out of line. No worriesanyway, I'll plod on and weld it all when it's right. I've also bought the pair of tubes, as the other side isn't much better, though is solid at the moment! (I'll not let me tapping sticks anywhere near it yet ..

Bit of progress .... slow progress but progress nonetheless ... Hope you like ..

Still got to clean the seatbox up and paint it, swap the transfer boxes over and bolt it all back together ... but now the seatbox is out it looks so much easier.

(PRODUCT PLUG) parkside (Lidi) pneumatic rivet gun ... Fandabidosie bit o'kit. Upwards of a boxfull of rivets used, and so easy to work with, especially when having to get into tight corners, IMHO well worth the £30 ish.

Slow and steady progress ...

Not welded the outrigger yet, just bolted it in to line it up and it fits first time.

Small tip to anyone using the YRM pieces, cut off the old one flush to the chassis, and thoroughly clean out the inside of the chassis tube .. It's a beeatch of a tight fit, so even small bits of rust flaking make the fit very hard without a lot of percussive encouragement .. Very satisfying when it just snicks into place though ...

And the ready to fit seatbox. I know the colour is wrong, but .... the structure will now hold a seat, a battery and all the other bits it's meant to ..
