Just realized looking at this photo that I have missed re-fitting the clutch cable mount to the gearbox.  Wonder where the devil I have put it now :-[

Photo of rear hub bearing housing cover... Take a look just north of my finger small round hole. Look at the slotted hole lower down the photo... Important that you remove all crud & rust from this oilway before re-assembly


...also clean out the hole in the brake backplate and the axle casing... ;-)up

You will get a lot of this  ;-)up :)

The sunshine yellow attracts a huge number of insects and butterflies and it's brilliant  ;-)up

I have found my bug literally covered in dozens of butterflies several times, the most amazing time
was one day at Ashdown, when its at work everyday in summer it has hundreds of  insects all over it all day.

Yep..  :D  I get the sticky finger thing now from my young grandson. Am certain he is going to be a huge buggy fan. He has a book of cars trains, planes and things and the centre two pages have a bright pink Manx buggy spread across them.

Thing is he thinks his granddad can go into the shed and make anything he sees on the telly and have him a fully functional copy made up in 10 minutes flat  ;-)up
