Tomorrow I might be able to get stuck in and take some of the red bodywork off.
Then the game will be to see if the new different shaped tank will fit anywhere, if at all!

Having a spare few minutes this afternoon, I had a bit of a ponder and got to thinking about fitting (and making) finned valve covers. This has been discussed in theory on here in another thread. (I'm sure Pantah ones would go straight on?)
The temperature sensor in the horizontal inlet cover kind of messes this up a bit and I wondered if it would make a massive difference if I fitted it to the vertical inlet instead.
Surely it can't be all that different a temperature up there?
It probably wouldn't matter if the vertical covers were not finned as I don't think they will be seen.

Also to be considered with this, is my plan to do away with the oil cooler, so things could well be a bit warmer than normal anyway.
Come to think about it, I would also need a cooler-bracket-less cover with a sensor hole. Do those exist?
