TODAY.

Drilled a hole in the rear of the tank shell

And turned up this alloy bobbin (to take a rubber mounting strap)

Which was pressed in and welded on from the inside

For a neat appearance

Also spent hours with the wet and dry polishing out the weld seams.

Next job on the list is to weld in a base and make a front mount

(still plenty of opportunity for things to go horribly wrong so fingers crossed)

Good to see you've lost the wooden main stand in preference to a conventional side stand. Looking good... :up
