Well....... I'm still here!
Unfortunately, shop time and enthusiasm have been hard to find recently.
But, I've sourced a rubber wood base, and gas tank......
It runs ok, so far.......
Trying to get me head around plumbing the water tower. It needs up/ down pipes.
I intended to solder direct into the side. But, don't like that idea, now........
Cos it needs to unplug from the engine stubs......
Thought, mebbe I could solder in, boiler type bushings.
Then plumb lower pipe through a 90* elbow, and upper, bend to horizontal.......
Anyone else got a better idea?
Are there any better looking, 8mm dia fixings, than these?
It's nice to be back!
