Will, it would have been a bigger waste leaving this lump in the back of the shed, at least now it will get run & will be removed in an instant should I need a replacement for one of my bikes.
it's also giving me a great chance to improve my welding skills....

Bit more progress..............
Made a couple of diagonal rear mounts, mainly to use the rear of the cases as a 'stressed' ( It fookin will be. ) member to stop the chassis rails flexing too much once I get me fat arse on board.
Now this will make the toes of some of you curl..... I took the grinder to the lower 'flange' of the transmission cover.
You'll see why when you look at the chain run.
The bolt head to the rear of the sprocket is currently fouling the chain. I plan to fit a spacer behind the sprocket & if its still a problem I'll remove it, countersink the case & then a countersunk bolt.

'Widowshaker'...... I like that Gary, been chuckling about it all day. If nothing else tickles me more in the next few days, then that's it!!
Had another couple of hours to meself earlier.
Cut and drilled some 25 x 40mm angle to act as bearing mounts.
Slid the drive sprocket along the splines to clear the screw head & cut the chain to length. I'll probably machine a bit of nylon bar to slide over the gear change shaft, to save it rattling on bare metal. Pulled taught there's around 5mm clearance, but that'll disappear on the 'overrun'
Squared up & clamped bearing mounts to the frame rails ready for welding. Once thats done it'll be time to cut the axle to length & machine some slots to take the drive pins.
