Still no wheel hub.
But I've got the rim back at least so I guess I could take that and get it powder-coated along with the mud-guard brackets and the other small bits and bobs I want black. Then again, I really need to see how the hub will work out and if the spacers for the discs will fit as I'll want them coated too.
I'd rather get it all done at the same time. There will be another delay as I'll have to send the rim and hub away to get it relaced. Hopefully I'll be able to work out a timescale so I can get some bits done while others are getting prepared. Probably never work out like that though!
One thing has moved on at least. When I was in House of Custom, I ordered a tank and priced the Dakota speedo I'm going to fit.
The tank was as expensive as I thought it would be but I was pleasantly surprised as the speedo unit was a couple of hundred pounds less that I thought it would be. That's all I need to buy now to be able to complete the carb conversion as I want it. So, there's no reason I can't start to get the prep done.
That's the next half decent weekend booked up. I'm going to remove the tank and begin picking out the wiring loom so I can see what's needed.
