You can put them all away again for another 2 years as that will no doubt be before we get some fuel again in the uk !!!!!!!!
Replaced the pass side headlight wiper (again) I find that I get a failure approx. every 4 years with these, the base fault is wear in the plastic gears and as you can't buy these separate it is a full unit replacement, this I can now accomplish in approx. 30 minutes

I don't know as not actually regarded it - so much of Otto is scattered about the house and garage at the moment no point looking at him. I cant see why it shouldn't be metal though, plenty of other pipes are. Might want to check sort of metal so you don't start electrolytic corrosion with the alloy though!
Mate of mine years ago had the exhaust rot out on his 750 Kawasaki. New collector box was north of £200, as was a Motad or Marshall 4-1. Header pipes were good and it was already on pattern silencers. He measured the pipes and worked out that a standard compression plumbing fitting would work. So about £20 later he was on the road with a pair of T pieces and a cross tube for the balance, and a pair of T pieces and a pair of 90 bends to link 2-1 each side in front of that. Lasted a good few years.

When I lived in a terraced house in Kent I used to park outside my front door whenever I could. So used to seeing car there.Could be an age thing Mark
Came home late - someone else parked there. Parked 100 yards up the hill in the nearest spot I could find, went to bed.
Got up in the morning, opened bedroom curtains, looked down, forgot had parked up the road, saw space where other car had driven away and thought "****, its been nicked!"
Then after 30 seconds remembered it hadn't actually been there anyway. D'oh!

Spent the last couple of evenings getting into cleaning the main manifold for Otto. Blow back from the gasket failure up the intake means there was a lot of gungy crud stuck in the tubes, and the outside had suffered the joy of a couple of decades of oil mist and general grime sticking to it. Looking a helluva lot better, but CBA to sort the pictures at the moment. Might see if I can create a GIF or them instead or lots of individual pictures.
Not clean enough to eat your dinner off yet, but I'd feed my brother in law his from it!

CV joint grease is recommended for the thread's but it's messy.Keep the threads oiled when you start pulling the Bush.
