Escadrille Ecosse

Got my last twin 4' in the garage still to do. Was low priority on account of working ok and being awkward to reach. That has now changed as one of the tubes just went on the blink - literally.

Warranted is misspelled (warrented).

But with shellac

Hamish, we've all been there Looks good though. Had a very similar experience once. Although fortunately on dry land!

Good old fashioned stuff...

But that's on a closed public road, not a dedicated race circuit. Like the IOM TT course or that town centre circuit in France (can't remember the name of it). Or even the farmyard at Harewood. And unlike Mallory I doubt they have modern racers there. Horses for courses I suppose

Yep. But because you can doesn't mean you should....

That weird camera effect is not an enhancement

It is a fine looking vehicle Hamish. Post blasting normally put on a coat of primer to stop the steel gingering. But what primer depends on the final coating. And if they are going for refurbishment, even if the primer doesn't get damaged by tools, then presumably there will be oil involved, which would be an issue with primer which is slightly porous. WD40 is a bit light. I would suggest a light oil instead. I am assuming that whoever does the overhaul will do the painting so will need to do a full degrease anyway before the final painting. Love those safety three button T shirts and flared jeans on the marshals. And your dad's sports jacket and tie. Those were the days

With you there Roger

Shrodingers brakes. Or quantum ABS. They only exist once observed . And sorry, I realise that wasn't helpful

Should have said. I'm sleeping in it now

Statistics eh!

Progress has been bloody slow. Main issue being getting the part of the garage I'm working in remotely warm enough. Eventually managed to get the mods finished and rubbed down. And I have taken a mould off that which is noew curing. We'll see how good it is both finish and fit wise shortly. Meanwhile I have cut out the old mis-sized panel from the bonnet which gave me space to get the hinge tube fitted up. Slightly more complicated without the panel to work against but I think that's it. Needs tack welding and then I can do a trial fit on the car...

My fully analogue Mitutoyo. Never needed the battery changing in 42 years and counting.
