    my build continues slowly, here is the cardboard mock-up of the body, it is close enough to use as a pattern for cutting the plywood, with just a couple of adjustments

    • Hi Simon,

      Thanks for your comment, much appreciated !
      I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find some Honda wheels, plenty of 17" rims available but not all are suitable, these wheels are off a Yamaha, OK for the front with spindle bearings, but I can't see how I could bolt a hub into them. I have ended up ordering some Honda clones from China for the rear, they won't match the fronts but I don't think anyone will notice or care, I'm going to put big fake drum brakes on which should disguise the difference.
      The whole build so far has been a wonderful exercise in stretching the brain and learning new skills.
