Faffing fiddly!

I’m beginning to think my never ending association with Project Stinger may have prejudiced my feelings towards restorations.

With the Suzuki, if anything could go wrong it generally did but (rotor removal aside) I’m actually making better than expected progress with the 1970 street scrambler. The front guard mentioned in the last report went together okay even if one of the U-shaped mounting brackets was totally and utterly different from its three siblings. Rather unhelpfully the parts book gives no name or reference number for the brackets so I’m stuck with what I have. And missing part numbers allied to some questionable drawings and misinformation is, apparently, this month’s reoccurring theme.

With the guardworth. It gets bolted to the cush-drive with some thread lock and new tab washers from Yambits.
