The throttle quadrant was cleco’d in position temporarily to allow the cables to be run. This needs to be riveted with 4mm x 15mm rivets which I need to purchase.

The temporary holes were 3.2mm so I’ll open them out ready for riveting tomorrow.

The throttle and choke cables need to be adjusted, tightened and cut to length.

A small piece of heat shrink is put on the end to stop it fraying in service before it is cut to size.

The drip trays are held in position by a bracket at one end and a piece of wire lock at the other. A small hole is drilled in the drip tray to facilitate.

The right hand tray is quite close to the fuel line so a small modification was made to the tray itself and a small piece of plastic tubing secured on the top of the tray to stop it rubbing on the pipe.

View of the final installation.

One of the jobs on my ‘todo’ list was to torque the brake disks so the wheel is jacked using a simple wooded jack.

The bolts are torqued…

and marked with torque seal. This will allow me to see if there is any movement in the bolts whilst in service.

Next job to do fit the canopy locks and striker plates.

Once cut to size, holes countersunk and smoothed off they can be painted.

The striker plate in place ready to be riveted into place tomorrow.

The canopy lock and release are installed and tightened.

The actuating wire is cut to size and fed through the operating arm and finally the installation is sealed with silicone sealer.
