Some current photos showing the temporary front wheels.Oil filter and catch tank mount on the rear of the bulkhead. I've never been happy with the original mounting where I used inserts in the thin alloy panels.This allowed the oil filter mount to flex when fitting and removing filters.It was the same for the catch tank and cooling system header tank.I've fitted 6mm alloy plate and bolted through to nutserts in the chassis.Quite a job but much happier with it. Note the oil tank is actually the same shape as fuel tank. Also note the oil temp sender next to the outlet. I'm waiting on the crank which is being balanced again because Ross lost the weight for the flywheel.
More to come
