I love the attention to detail, Bob - especially the correct number of rivets for the number plate - these things make all the difference. I'm still toying with the idea of getting military plates for mine. And the front panel looks great as well.

Well after years of suffering fuel fumes wafting through the garage from the LWT I decided to investigate and was a amazed to find the original cork sealing ring still fitted to the tank filler groove...so I hooked it out and replaced with new square section rubber seal...I know this is a huge debate area but I also purchased a nos cork sealing gasket for the cap..soak d for 24 hours in water in gently offered it into the cap recess...cap seems to fit snugly with no noticeable fumes...my only concern is that I've "stifled " the breather system and thus will get a vacuum in the tank after a long journey..?
I have the cap with a he Spring/ball type breather with two securing lugs on the inner rim....we shall see.

Gave em both a good clean, had a pair of wagtails nesting in the wheel arch of 05kd65 but they've gone now and left me with a load of bird mites to deal with! All sorted now courtesy of the steam cleaner...

Got ready for summer!

Now if you were serious about summer, you'd have the tilt and hoops off altogether! I put about 30 miles on mine today - the longest journey it has made since the rebuild.
