Thanks Noely, made a new oil cooler from a 34L one.

Filled her with oil and cranked her over until I had oil pressure and then rigged up a fuel supply and she started straight away :star:

Had to pull the carb out as it had a leak between the pipe from the fuel bowl to the secondary. She sounds very nice :confetti:

After Mezo pointed out how dangerous my fuel set up was I decided to sit the tank on a wooden saw stool,seemed to fit snuggly enough, at first :lol: Then she did a back flip onto the concrete floor :rage:
Image
Nice little dent and broke the fuel cap :DICKHEAD:
Still waiting on the out of stock spokes from Kedo :wtf: So I put on some spare wheels and rolled her out into the sun.

Shame about that dent, right on the bloody corner as well. :foot_tap:

Ive got a set of Kedo spokes sitting here (for 34L) would they fit 3AJ? i can lend you them if you need.
