The Cup is currently off the road as I have a steering wheel problem
 to fix, plus the petrol tank has a leak via one of the riveted and soldered
lugs that bolt it to the supporting frame .

As per previous advice I have emptied the tank , filled it with water for two days,
stood it in the sun to evaporate any remaining fumes and propose filling it
with car exhaust gas, before Neil and I attempt to run
some solder into the small gap that opened up behind the lug.

There are no little perforations , and the leaking is coming from 
a loose rivet plus the lack of solder to seal this joint.

Also started to think about the hood cover, so remounted the hood frame 
I made over the winter . Will now take templates off the frame once the hood strapping
Webbing comes later this week.

Will write up the steering wheel topic once some progress has been made. One problem
Is I need a deep dished wheel, but it needs to be splined to suit the only column
I have. Some engineering required here.
