Rear wiring loom

The new rear/stop light unit came in the post during the week. I spent time cleaning up the multi-connector of the rear light/indicator wiring loom. Now I just need to find time to put the wiring loom together. At the moment the indicators are not working but I expect they will as soon as I get the rear part of the indicator loom hooked up.

I got a pair of roundrels for side of the tank when it comes back from paint. The painter rang to check on the colour for the pin stripes. I should be picking the finished tins up in a couple of weeks.

I bought some spray enamel black paint so I should get on and paint the brake lines and rear mudguard brackets. Some of the paint has to go on the Land Rover too.

I must not forget to top up the oil in the bevel box.

A breezy day

I have been waiting for a breezy day and one where I have a few hours to myself. I need to empty the petrol tank of fuel so I can send it, the mud guards and side panels off for paint. Today was that day. I managed to get the job done with spilling any fuel in the garage. When I went outside I managed to tip a cupful all over my trousers. The breeze soon evaporated the spill but not before H had seen the stain on the trousers. I hope to drop the tins off for paint tomorrow. The painters say they need a month. Now that the back wheel is sorted I must use up the month to get the front brakes, the instrument pods and head light sorted. I think I have a puncture in the front tyre so that is on the list too.
