Contrary to popular belief, neither this project nor I are totally stagnant. Managed a little progress.
The 250 chassis (ex Beast V1.0) had sat for too long so it's been part restoration, part fabrication.
Engine in, radiator mounted (stock 250). Brakes unseized, calipers cleaned up. Front disc which had been very skilfully reduced to 3.0mm thickness has been replaced with a good stocker (thanks Wallace) - but still 320 OD. I didn't like the thin disc for use on full circuit ruapuna or Timaru - even with a skinny kid on board.
Still to do a replacement subframe. Want a 'glass tank copy as a cover for a small in-frame tank. Still to mount carbs/coils etc....
