Moderator Cynic Posted December 28, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2009 O yeh, and never ride it except for off road One front wheel for the MOT man and the proper one....... All wind ups aside its looking good, you have got further than i have with my DT. Everybody wants a piece of me at the moment. Especially the treasury, or thats how it feels these days. I saw a write up in CMM where a fellow had built a pure flat tracker, daylight MOT the works, it was done in yellow speedblocks and looked the nuts. If this ends up even half as tidy as that old nail you took to Ireland it should be a treat. Is it going to be red, Dewpy team colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted January 31, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2010 well i done a few more stuff this weekend... I stick welded some 8mm brackets for padock stand brackets will finish when dry build complete and was thinking outside the box and decided to mount my ignition switch where the starter motor went. so i amd cutting out the alternator side panel to fit a 28mm modded washer and have gutted the starter motor and modded that so i can fit the marine ignition switch inside along with connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted February 21, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2010 I got an oil pressure gauge of ebay and wanted something different to mount it in. looking through Asda I saw this its a cup from a stainless steel flask. So i deftly cut the right holes and all i need to get is a couple of case nuts from a2a4 fixings and it should look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted March 20, 2010 Author Moderator Share Posted March 20, 2010 changed my mind on the headlamps coz i saw a davida helmet ad with a triumph and it looked the business. so i've cut some ally sheet and formed a couple of holes for haleogens to fit behind. hopefully Vez can help me with some bracket and a way of mounting the lamps to the board here's some piccies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaD.VeZ Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Im presuming these are the lights that are behind the ally panel ? If they are, a couple of pics from the back of the ally plate with the lights and current brackets offered into position would inspire a few ideas. Just noticed the flask lid gauge housing, crackin idea, looks the dogs wotsits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed the flask lid gauge housing, crackin idea, looks the dogs wotsits no, done away with the projector lamps and using 52mm halegon jobbies as they are smaller but brighter!! I'm messing with sketchup at the moment trying to work out how to draw! BTW the panels are currently being Tigged, thanks for the part you made!

barkwindjammer Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Gotta be honest Andrew, was liking this up til the point where that bit of flat plate appeared with the H/light holes in (looks a bit like the face from the animation "Iron man", loved the idea with the 'flask' cups used as dial casings-well classy look and a genius idea, couldn't you carry that 'theme' through and put the lights you have into two more 'flask' cups ?, just my tuppenceworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
