Zep, man you just gotta go for a pish before you take those photos.....helps with the camera shake in poor light.....lol

That box swinger certainly shows up the "spindly" zed frame!

[Davy Doherty]

Is that a zephyr in the back ground???

[Whatever]

I am going to love watching progress on this project.....superb!
I love to see all those ugly bits get hacked off the frame.

The Auto cad drawing is very impressive...... I am intrigued as to what sort of USB attachment you have that is gonna turn it into a steel frame gusset!

have you got anything in mind for the paint yet?

[zedlepplin]

this arrived in the post yesterday

a big thumbs up to Ian Marshall for this cheers bud
so with plenty of filling I have the repair section roughly in place

I will fettle later when i have borrowed another frame for a reference I also received my CDS tube in the post its worth having a ring around for this as the price varies wildly, some jokers in wales wanted ?60 for three 330 mm lengths I don't think so i eventually found a nice chap who sold me 2 meters for ?21 inc postage

and lastly a shot of the girlfriends Zepher

[Iain marshall]

No problem Joss,if any one else is looking for frame sections PM me

[zedlepplin]

Well things are progressing slowly, filing?.. filing and more??. filing, but they are defiantly progressing

[Pigford]

Zedlepplin, Good to see the work progress, and as they say...

A picture paints a thousand words......

[RALPHARAMA]

Wish I'd put some bracing in now

[Ed Z1-R]

Truely pukka Hand crafted parts
A man after me own heart, reminds me when i filed the bitz for me engine stand.
welding DIY

[zedlepplin]

Hi well lots of things have conspired to stop the project but I can now get on with it
I have finished bracing the frame and its all been zipped up all that’s left welding wise is the pillion footrests I think I will go for some from PMC as like the look of them















And here’s a picture of the clocks I’m going to use



Initially I was going to use standard clocks but looking at the top yoke and the key position made me go for the ZR clocks sorry about the crap images but I only have the mobile phone

[Gus]

That's looking great.

Are you going to be offering frame bracing as a service?

[DogsbolloxofZ1B]

Itake it you checked the frame was straight before you started this caper? Looking good!

[zedlepplin]

Hi Gus,
Would have to say that once was enough for frame bracing antics it’s a right pain notching the tube with a file,

Although I didn’t take the frame to jig a had a very carful measure up and eyeball

[big green bus]

looking good matey keep the pic's coming

[zedlepplin]

Cheers BGB will keep the pic’s coming this is going to be a bit of a slow burn project though as plenty of things vying for available funds at the mo
