Speedmaster Something For Nudger

Shouldn't they be black?

 

Good couple of hours in the garage today and for once everything I did went as planned
Got the footboards drilled and countersunk on both sides of NUDGER so the anti swivel bars are in place
Then I cut/drilled and filed the heel plates and got them mounted as well of course a tow bar is not a tow bar without a tow ball at the back
So that’s next

 

Sitting on the seat at the moment
All this has to be stripped back apart when I’ve finished fabricating it all so it can go for Powdercoating....BLACK

 

Try and get this welded up today

 

All welded

 

Neat job Dilli, it's a shame you don't live closer to me, I could keep you busy for weeks!

 

Turn it over before I agree its a neat job

 

NO

 

I am a shite welder
But what the eye can’t see doesn’t need to be perfect

 

Did you work for Fiat around 1999-2000

 

Some early Japanese bikes of the '60s/'70s/80s had frame welding that left a lot to be desired. And it was in full view, give or take a coat of paint.
Dilli has nothing to fear from the welding inspectors - probably!

 

Just bolted in place for the time being gonna try and make the 7 pin socket carrier tomorrow at work if no-ones looking

 

Silly question - I thought tow bars had to be ce certified. How do you get around that?

 

Dilli's mate, Clive Edmonds, has a look at it, says "that looks okay" and confirms it in writing on the back of a fag packet which he then signs. Ergo, certified by CE. Simples!

 

No problem Dilli is certifiable

 

Best get him some back up as well

 

FIx It Again Tony the full name FIAT for short!

 

Dilligaf by name Dilligaf by......

 

A piece of this will do for the 7 pin socket carrier

 

Cutting done
Now it’s grinding/filing/drilling to get the shape

 

That’ll do the job
Take it home tonight and work out where/how to mount it
