Re: 42WLC build
Got my front stand in the mail blasted and painted it. Had to make the stand catch and some sleeves but luckily had the springs from when I tried to order a repop stand months ago only to find out that they aren't made anymore. Only thing I want to change out are some castle nuts for the cotter pins

Wow,
What an incredible restoration job you have done, using your own skills and perseverance !!
You have created a masterpiece that will survive another 75 years
When I see what you started with, to what you have built and in a fairly short time,
I can only smile and be amazed !!!
Please continue to post pictures of where you may go with her, and places you visit.
Congratulations on this, and on your wonderful Family as well !!!!
Maybe the G503 should start handing out trophies, for all the masterpieces, that have been brought back from abandon, and shared here on the G, for the world to enjoy !!!
Great Work !!
Best Regards,
Ray

Re: 42WLC build
Scored a nice British style seat for my rear! Awhile ago I ordered a repop and when I got it I was not impressed and decided to wait on continuing the fabrication of the seat frame till something better was found. Early 42s came with black leather so when I found this nice pre war Wrights that had the look I wanted I was back at it!

Re: 42WLC build
On another note... As I've been riding around I've hit the rear part of the skidplate on the ground several times. While looking at pictures it seems that original plate fit tighter around the muffler so my plan is to cut move and re weld the plate in and a little up.
Also found this tool roll for a decent price at the swap meet on sunday, don't know to much about what tools are correct any ideas? I noticed the pin on the chain breaker was broke but I have an idea on how I can repair that

Re: 42WLC build
Where did you mount the reartab of the skidplate to?
It looks like you used the wrong hole, or the tab is too long..
Normally, there's about 1,5 cm / 0,5" clearanc e between skidplate and muffler, and the skidplate is more horizontal

Re: 42WLC build
I used the same hole that you are using in the picture you sent but my tab might be longer than yours. I think I will try unbolting that part and see if I can push it up far enough to drill a new hole and cut the other off
