Oh hey.. yeah it could well have snippets of info that the Haynes manual doesnt have. I'd just bought another 'intereurope' or something manual for $1 on TM the other day but sadly it had even less info. I do however always find it interesting reading them anyways.

Are you going to the Nats?

Note the factory carefully installed bags of foam, designed to absorb sound...and moisture...

I pulled bags of this stuff out of both my Triumphs too. It looked like yellow wool?

Yeah I know the stuff you're on about. This stuff is foam based... and of most excellent absorbancy one must add. 

Also noted when I cut the guard open.. lots of Slaters hiding in there.  Sadly.. many if not most of them met their doom when I sliced the panel off. All cooked by the hot sparks from the grinder. Yum.

Yeah its tricky alright eh. But a grinder will be our our best friend :-)  The newer invertor type mig welder I bought a few years ago works much sweeter for 'zapping' too.  I try to concentrate the zap onto the thicker steel and then do a little push towards the thin original steel as I release the trigger..if you can picture what I mean.

Oh yeah totally know what you mean. An old car resto is a proper job if it aint got a few hedgehogs on the back of the repairs. I sometimes end up laughing so hard in my helmet as I chase a hole in the thin stuff. It almost becomes a challenge...

"fuck you little hole... I'm going to defeat you! You ain't getting away on me.. I am not going to just do the right thing and chop this area out. I'm just gonna keep zapping away..! "

Its been an intention for a while but there's so many other things I want to build before hand. I'd love some rollers too. And an English wheel while I'm there. Plus a mechanical planisher. 

But actually id rather be building other stuff instead of rust repairs. It's fun but pretty nasty dirty work. But pays the bills right now.
