Introduction and progress so far

Top job --Well done .

Not sure about the bike carbs though.It could complicate things pre IVA. I got some with the same intention but stuck with the pierburg for now --it gets it running for now and I can fiddle about after IVA

Its a bit late for that - I sold the pierburg!

Its dead easy anyway, i did the same using megajolt ignition

It sailed through iva with the carbs left untouched from the bike

It was running lean though up in the revs but idle was spot on, I could'nt drive it about pre iva so didnt bother re-jetting until afterwards, then 170 jets seemed about right on the rollers

Mind you depending on what you want from the car the cvh probably wont be there for long anyway! mine lasted one summer before replacing it for more grunt

I know who to come to when I need advice then Mark!

Spent a few hours yesterday getting a coat of etch primer on the bare steel:









I used Tractol 729 industrial etch primer in grey - It went on quite well by brush and dried very quickly despite the ~10 degree temperature.

Have a few bits to touch up that I missed, but reasonably happy with it as a layer to stop the thing rusting.

Where in Kent are you eddy? I'm over in rochester and there is a really good local club called southern kitcar club (skcc). If you need a hand with anything let me know. My roadster has been on the road for a few years now so I have ironed out most of the floors

I based in Birchington, near Margate. I work just down the a228 from you in West Malling though.

I'll check out the SKCC website, thanks.

Thanks for the offer of help - Much appreciated
