It's the Final Outrigger..(!)

I welded on the fifth and final outrigger today. As usual, most of it was prep work, especially with these rear tub outriggers where I've cut the tub bracket off the old outrigger and cleaned it up for re-use. I've also made up aluminium plates for these to see if I can stop the steel / birmabright corroding the tub. We'll see how that goes in time..

Now for the fun bit..



This one didn't need a rail repair behind the outrigger because it was one of the older makes without a back plate so there was nowhere for water to get trapped.

I also got the last bit of chassis cleaned up and painted beneath the seatbase so now that can go back in along with the floor and gearbox tunnel. That will feel good.
