Re: Harris Build

A bit more progress, made a new oil cooler bracket, painted the fairing and started applying the graphics, rear wheel is at the powder coaters hence the crap picture in the garage, got to get it looking presentable as I’ve been asked to display it as a work in progress on the VJMC stand at the NEC c...

Looking for a supplier of metal suitable for a wheel spindle, I’ve used en16t in the past. I’m after 350mm x 20mm diameter. Last supplier I used has unfortunately closed. Any leads are greatly appreciated.
