"Tangerine Dream" / Glemseck - KZ750

[beachcomber]

The belly tank has been trial fitted with the filler in a new simpler location as we no longer need to worry about that part of the Glmseck event regs. that meant blanking off the hole in the back of the seat where the filler cap was going to be sited.
as soon as the weather warms up the tank and seat will get the final top coats.

Finally there.

Just flat off with 1000 grade paper and soap and final polish.

Looking good TJ, can't wait to see the end result.

Thanx Brodie ..... me too !!!!! The last 5 years have just disappeared - a whole train of serious illnesses and a long and toxic divorce [ not to mention expensive ].

However I'm determined to get back on track now that my Chronic Kidney Disease is under control.

My build buddy and lifetime friend Brian has also been struck by serious illness and mercifully he has come out the other side on two feet. The dynamic duo are back !!

Leather upholstery pre-fitted to my old AJS 7R seat base.

Just need some large jaw C clamps to push the "fir tree" fittings right home.

During my forced "down time" I also got the spark plug lengths sorted out for the additional centre plug.

The area where the plug breaks through into the head chamber needs a bit of fettling to eliminate sharp potential pre-ignition points and then smoothing out for the flame path.

I have two modified heads, one with 10mm centre plugs .......... not sure which to use yet.

 

[beachcomber]

Plugs all sorted now, just got to fettle around the plug entry into the head.

I'll remove the threaded portion and then create a flame path - that's when I can remember who I loaned my Dremel to !!!!!!

Needless to say the heads will be beadblasted inside.

Well the "fir tree" fixings didn't !. The seat upholstery wouldn't pull down flush with the seat base.

Plan B .. rip the fir trees out and resin glue in some alloy Rivnuts in place. Works a charm and as there is no need to remove the upho;stery now I've done a POC I'll glue it as well. Baby steps, but at least in the right direction.

Last pics - what keeps me sane .... the lake just 50yds from my front door

Coming along nicely!
