Looking very good. Don't forget the wing piping between each wing and the 'skirt' under the cowl. Are your tyres 4.5 inches? On my Pearl I found that these caught the inner wing on full lock so changed to 4 inches.
Robin, my tyres are 4.00, not 450's so should be ok.
As for the beading twixt wings and the little front skirt - well it had no beading there when it was last on the road, 1967, and looking at many photos of mk 1 Ruby I found as many without beading as with beading. So decision was made, no beading twixt wings and skirt.
