Spring has sprung! Hasn't it?

How dare you? I'll have you know that mechanical work needs a lot of thinking about. My perceived meditative condition was actually an advanced thinking state. Now that the parts have arrived from Alan Stringer* I've swung into action.

Front and rear suspension fitted to chassis, footrests sorted, wheels on and front brakes refurbished.

I 've even worked out how the front engine hanger works, and its very different from any of the other Tigcraft/SRX combo's that I've seen. That's all the good news!

The less happy (so not REALLY bad) news is that we have three 'pairs' of wheels, all the fronts are the same but all the rears are different. Will have to either source another wheel to match the rear we already have, or produce a different set of spacers fro each wheel. For ease of wheel changes during a race meeting I would prefer the former. Also don't have a suitable rear brake hanger and this will be dictated by which wheel(s) we go for. Not really any insurmountable problem but just little jobs which need sorting.

And whilst all this fervent tinkering was going on I nearly burnt the house down, having stupidly used a wooden lintel above the wood burning stove. Right bl**dy mess, but lucky SWMBO noticed the flames before they took hold. Mostly cosmetic damage but could have been much worse!!!!

Ah, Happy Days.............................

* Thanks Alan, they fitted perfectly!
