Cleaning, sealing and breathing.

After a little fettling of the original upper engine mounts and the arrival of some more suitable fixings I have completed fitting the engine.

I gave the carb a good going over with degreaser and replaced all the seals. Cleaned and replaced all the gaskets on the air cleaner.

Added the additional air scoop I brought a while ago to the hypercharger. I was a little concerned it may be too wide to get my leg passed comfortably while seated, but it's fine. 

Looks pretty knarley I reckon!

I am busy trawling eBay for stylish exhausts. One has caught my eye. 2nd hand from the US.

I have spoken to P&D about welding tank brackets in place. So now the engine is in and carb etc. the tank can be properly spaced from everything.

It would make more sense to get the welding done for the exhaust brackets at the same time. So I'm hoping I will find something soon.
