Default Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Last chance for others to add input......
I think this will be the final tank position. I need to skirt around the bottom to increase the tank height approx. 2" down to the tank parameter hoop and shape to tank around the seat as a nice custom detail.
I spit the rear to make it a bit wider and the expected skirt height measurements (mm) are written on the take at a few points.
Next is make the base of the tank.

Today I removed the clutch cover on my curvy, cleaned and thoroughly degreased everything, used a thin bead of black Granville rubberised gasket silicone in the O ring groove, placed the O ring back in the groove and sparingly smeared the O ring with same gasket goo. Refitted the cover and tightened down the bolts in a star pattern followed by torquing down. It has to be left for 24 hours to fully cure before riding so hopefully I've done a decent job and can say goodbye to any further leaks.

A step closer, only thing stopping me from using my tig is the missing hose to run between the regulator and the welder.
Should some rubber fuel line do the trick?
I am thinking of mounting my little plasma cuter on the lower arm.

I've used both Granville silicone/RTV sealer and their Exhaust paste. Excellent products at a good price
