Another small issue today, I decided it was time to change the filter and fill it with oil. As I poured it in the filler I noticed a puddle on the workbench. It was coming from the gauze filter nut, I tried tightening it but the flow got worse. I have before started to fill engines having forgotten to fit the drain plug but never in 50 years of messing about with engines have I managed to misalign the crush washer which was comprehensively buggered. About half a litre of full synthetic will at least ensure my bench does not go rusty.
Jobs left to do are:
Make another lens for the instruments and devise a way of operating two control buttons on the speedo that will be behind the lens
Fit the brake lines and bleed them and the clutch (awaiting delivery of the hose and fittings, due tomorrow)
Fit the brake pads front and back
Time the Hall effect ignition triggers
Fit the voltmeter and fit the dashboard and attach the dashboard to the flyscreen
Paint the tank, seat and flyscreen and fit decals to the tank (awaiting delivery of decals)
Test everything and put a torque wrench on all the bolts
Buy and fit number plate
Insure and MOT
