No News

It's tough working when Mr. Westfield is sitting in the garage, calling my name. So no progress since the weekend. Fellow Westfield enthusiast, Jon, did stop by from England with a special delivery of my indicator housings and some bighead bolts, which means I can fit the front lights and cycle farings.

I did have some back and forth with Westfield to confirm which wires are which on the headlamp pods and harness fittings. We also discussed the various temperature sensors, so now I know what goes where, i just have to fit them at the weekend.

Also had a lot of back and forth on the exhaust mount. Westfield say it should look like this:

Which just looks silly for a side mount exhaust, if you ask me (which nobody did). I have elongated the holes in the bracket as much as I dare, and the exhaust is pointing just slightly upwards (perhaps I need to dare a little more). It rarely rains here, so I doubt a slightly upturned tip will be much of a problem.

Need to get a battery - will try to do that tomorrow when I go out to ScienceofSpeed, to pick up the fuel inlet fitting that I don't have on the engine.

Still hoping to do a test fire this weekend, if I can get the cooling system plumbed first, that is.
