Its been a long time
Doesn't know nothing.
Dreadful weather today, hail, horizontal rain, wind, cold. Unusually bad for mid April, even for England.Some sympathetic paint retouching this morning. Mostly on the battery box that's been badly corroded by battery acid fume. Also front engine mount where it's been blasted by road gravel. The Jenolite rust converter works extremely well and gives a nice base to take a coat of black hammerite (smooth) paint.
While the paint dries, new HT leads made ready to fit later with a set of new Daiichi points. NGK plug caps, 7mm copper wire. New condensers were fitted while I had the top engine mount off. Only the coils haven't been changed, but they test OK.
The points fitted look new/unused but are Chinese made. I like the Daiichi made in Japan ones better. Probably last the duration of my ownership. (What a morbid thought).

So not much done on the bike. Just finished the mount plate for the voltage regulator, fitted it, fitted the rectifier and put the screws back in the battery box. More progress tomorrow, hopefully.
