[QUOTE="lindie, post: 9063, member: 1466"] sadly theres not a great deal new to report of any note, other than i've cleaned up and got my two 3.5" dynamos to the point of motoring briskly so with a bit of luck once installed the weapon of choice should pump out the odd volt or two. most of my purchases of late are in the name of "research and reference" which is the nicest way of telling my girlfriend to overlook how much i'm spending on books that she sees no point or need for. to go with my aforementioned reading from my uncle i'm now equipped with stevens' KTB (i like the way he writes. also very handy stuff), the works instructions, ATO, FYO which has determined my pistons by their casting number as 8 to 1's and enlightened me that the norton clutch swap as per timetraveller was fair play at one stage , the vincent hrd story in australia by brian greenfield which i picked up a little while back and a beautiful hardcover "THE VINCENT HRD STORY IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA 1933-1994 by w purdy that cost more in postage from the states than the book. i don't think she buys my excuse but i'm still allowed to sleep inside. some smaller parts are also here and have been readied for fitment. it's good when someone with a lathe offers you help. unfortunately not much got done on our last trip to where shes stored but the next one is pencilled in firmly and i've allotted a good chunk of free time to playing on it. would be nice to get the three case covers back into their homes and maybe if the head reassembly goes to plan she'll be back on her wheels, then it's just a matter of waiting for the tank to get painted. after which it should all either go smoothly or fight me every step of the way, but i love a good teething. no ETA as i suck at deadlines, but as i get the odd little part or component assembled here at home, it all adds up.
