Had a bit of time to spare so i borrowed a mates frame for a few days. This is the result....

Still have to sand it back a little & give it another coat of cold Galvanized zinc paint. Was'nt as fussed as Brian but i think it turned out great.

 

Now...what to tell my mate biggrin

 

 

 

ps. i'm only joking about using a mates frame lol i used my old OP frame smile

I had a paint can manfunction (it blocked upcry ) That's two cans of different brands of galvonized paint that did this now. It's sat here & past 1 o'clock so no paint shops open around here till mon. I have decided to change colour & go a VHT high temp as it's the only paint i could buy. Will see how it turns out & decide whether i like the colour or not. Stay tuned :)

Very simple quick way to hold the motor in place. Also needs quick release pins (buying tommorrow with luck) & shortening (obviously)
