On the 4th of June Nick & I spent the day measuring the thickness of the saddle tank walls, both on the outside and on the underside next to the barrel. Only 2 areas were what would be described as needing some attention which was very pleasing considering the age of the engine. The debris inside will need removing and this will be achieved using various methods. Both injectors are on and we trial fitted some of the delivery pipes. Alan has fitted the ejector under the running board on the RH side. More photos to follow soon. Work on retrieving parts of the smokebox.
