Finally, I managed to get some time in the garage, although it was bloody cold!
I had got some tails for the fuel regulator from Europa that allowed me to finish the fuel pipework, which now goes all the way from the tank to the carburettor. I had bought a banjo connector from Real Steel originally that allows the fuel pipe to point downwards from the carb, therefore missing the air filter.
After that I moved on to the speedo sensor. The sensor I got from Greengauges
is a reed switch job (which they reckon is the best choice) that needs some magnets attaching to a rotating device
of some form. I chose to put some magnets around the propshaft for which I now have all the bolts to attach it
between the diff and the gearbox. So, using some slow setting Araldite, again as recommended, I attached four of
the six magnets supplied at roughly equal distances around the propshaft. It's now setting. Mind you, the cold
will probably slow it down a lot...
The other thing that's needed is a bracket for the reed switch itself, which
is in this photo. I started fabricating a bracket that will hold the switch closish to the magnets. I did a bit
of testing and the sensor seems to detect the magnets when it's about 1cm away, so it shouldn't be too critical
in its positioning.
in case you've got to this frame directly and can't get out, go here.
