 finished the carb mounting bracket off tonight, made a couple of locating studs out of a piece of stainless round stock, loctited at the manifold joint where it mounts to the barrel, nylocks at the top end to keep the carb located against the mounting flange, it's not walloped up too tight against the rubber so hopefully we won't get the fuel frothing caused by the carb bouncing about just on the rubber mounting, plus i hope we have finally cured the 'carb ejection' problem that we had at rockingham, it was a bit too late to start it up and run it down the road, i'll leave that until tomorrow night.

busy, busy, busy, why am i doing this?, it's a pain in the arse, i don't have to have this hassle, fuck it, get it on e-bay as an unfinished project and cut my losses, mrs b bollocking me every night about being in the shed, my thumbs are split with solvents drying them out when i'm cleaning bits, loads of application forms, had to have an eye-test monday night, bit's to make, bit's don't fit, my head's in bit's, then i find this photo and all of a sudden it doesn't seem too bad....................................................
