Despite the appalling weather, work continues
on my All Alloy Cup. Busy at the moment fettling
the front wings, taking a breather from the tail cover
, more later! Wing radius formed on our new shrinker stretcher.
Alloy wings have 4 mm alloy wire in the edges. Valances to be riveted on.
Presently they are fixed on with BA screws.
The photos below are first fit and soon the wings will soon go for welding up
After some refinishing, sanding and planishing.
Enjoyed making the hood and sidescreen frames from
sketches kindly posted by forum members.
Now have most of the engine bits needed and hope
to start on that soon.
More posts to follow on lamps, bulbs and number plates.
All the above greatly helped by Neil who lives locally and is also working
On his GE Cup LWB Special. Two heads are better than one
when learning metal bashing we’ve found.
As learners we are having to be pragmatic about wing tips!
Wings are incredibly light and stiff, slightly wider than standard?
Alll the best from the snowy Borders....
