Farm Fresh

Big points for perseverance. I hope it comes together easy.

The moles in your grease were probly decomposed. I prefer to obtain grease the old way, by collecting a few nice fresh moles and rendering them in a bucket.

I am certain I recently read, and did not invent, the small factoid that Lucas, or another British mag mfgr, offered a little hammer for the sole purpose of setting the mag on the tapered shaft. I'll see if I can find a citation for that claim if anybody gives a shit, or (especially) wants to bet.

That bike is real good looking. Surprises me a little that you didn't stray a bit from your mockup pictured years ago. Nice!

What is reman?

Well I'm happy to know what "reman" means, but I think it's immodest to call your own work "fab."

Ammeter/switch holder is well made. But (no offense, I have to ask) is it finished except for further polishing? Maybe it's predictable to expect its outer edge to follow the instrument's circumference closely, i.e., to simply be a larger circle, and to open out more gradually between the meter's "top" edge and the inboard mounting hole; but that's me, predictable.

Thanks for posting the new reconstruction. Been a while, hasn't it?

I'll be watching, for certain.
