And...ready for paint... Hell yeah!!

T bucket as background Baby chaly looking like the Britten V1000 in its pink and blue colours. It's getting a fresh paint job, so the V1000 look won't be forever.

Its waiting patiently in the background. I always had 5 years in mind, never was in a rush to do it. There's still lots of other projects in the que before the t bucket.

All polished up, adds a cool wee detail to this area.

More brackets, witj rubber isolating bushes. I had to use the motor as a "sky hook" to attach the other brackets too, that are fixed to the chassis. Never a great idea - so the isolating bushes will hopefully stop bad things happening as the two play tug of war.

Amongst all the big jobs, I get the occasional win with a small job like this key bracket. I always think of project binky, and how making any type of vehicle is basically a collection of brackets. I now appreciate a good bracket more than most.

These rear sets have not been easy. I've re engineered both sides, and spent longer than I'd care to admit (probably upwards of 10hrs) machining up adapters, pivot arms, linkages, stand off etc. I can count 18 different parts that I've had to make in order to get both sides to function. Would I do this again...ummmm...not so keen. I made my harley forwards controls and they look a lot more impressive, but took half the time. These have been a right cunt of a job. But hey...its basically done now. So the pain will be long forgotten in a few weeks time.

Okay...wee bit of scope creep, yip I've totally lost the plot on this and gone full retard.
