Scotties big Zundapp

Correctomundo Mr. Marlow!:thumb2:

Had to look up the Avgas stuff, but remember five star going off the forecourt. Mate of mine had a 3.5 litre rover that wouldn’t run properly on four star……pinked like mad.

Cheers Steve Hae a guid day.

I'm taking up knitting scarves and the hell with plastic.........Too damn good Buddy, but I only hope you didn't put a combination lock on the jerry can holder........knit one, perl two...knit one, perl two...Knit one, perl two.......................

Dude thanks mate, but you have no need to take up knitting at all.

Excellent Scottie. That solder paste. I'd really appreciate any tips on how it's used.

Jim, it really is easy mate, Just make sure the parts are clean i just scour them with a bit of scotchbrite other scourers are availablle. Apply a small amount of the paste to the joint and apply heat the flux will melt the solder will form. I have only used it with a direct flame and haven't tried it with a hot iron but I can see no reason why it should be any different. The small tub I have will last for ever and a day. Plus the joint is relatively clean when finished. Hope this answers your question if not I will try and do a video next time I use it.

Scottie, don't forget to fill the can with 100 octane before locking it in the rack....you wouldn't want this baby to run out of gas before you get it done! :tongue-out3: :tears-of-joy: :thumb2:

I will have to get some in special.

100 octane is Avgas mate - that beast would fly if that was used!
Steve

Now that would be something to see :smiling:

HA HA Allen.......I ain't leaving till Mr. Scottie scratches out a key for that lock and clicks that baby shut! :tongue-out3: :tears-of-joy: :thumb2:

Rick, glad your not leaving mate you will have to wait anyway I can find the key to open it again :tongue-out2::tongue-out2:

[scottie3158]

That's just - beautiful, elegant, perfect!

Paul, that is very nice of you to say thank you.

A little bit late to answer Jim's question as I had already done it. But I replaced the bikes rear mudguard support with a fabricated one. The kit one would have cleaned up ok but it is nothing like the one in my reference pics.
The kit one;


My replacement. 1.2mm wire formed into shape the ends were then flattened and filed to shape. A web was added either side from 0.75 evergreen sheet and a 1.25 nut punched from the same sheet. before the plastic was added I made the fixing bracket from some 0.5 copper sheet and soldered it in place. It still needs a bit of tidying up as the picture has shown me.





Thanks for following along and the positive comments

If you set the bar any higher we’re going to need oxygen to get over it

Simon,
I can't say its imagination I just try to add what I can see in my reference pictures and knowledge of how things should be from being an engineer. You should try it, it is a lot easier than you think.

Thank you Mick but you can put the cylinders away for now :smiling:

The exhaust has been rusted and the two clamps replaced with brass and a punched nut. It's not so orange in real life. Please be honest is the rust over done?





cheers Scottie

[Tim Marlow]

I would say not for a mild steel system operating in very challenging conditions. I would expect some heat blueing on the outlet exhaust downpipes though.

[Guest]

I agree with Tim, the exhaust is probably not over-rusted if the bike has been used for a fair while. Maybe a bit dark in colour — I remember the rusted parts of the exhaust of my moped 30+ years ago being more of a tan-grey, but other than that, IMHO it looks very convincing.
