just foldable el cheapo's from Aldi.....I figure they have to be good for 250-300 kg each, but I am not far from chucking it onto its wheels anyway, they have been great for working on it at stomach/chest level and of course working underneath......you know I am no lightweight and I was in it yesterday so they are much stronger than they look.

had to change my front brake pipe set up, because I initially had it fixed on a piece of ally riveted to one of the front wishbone supports.....now I have the bulkhead joint into the side panel

Trial fit of rear arch.....thought it would be easy, but it was as fiddly as hell, not fully bolting up yet as I want to do a full fuel tank check before I fit all the back end.
