6. MOTOR PROGRESS

In an effort to steampunkise the motor further i soldered together some copper plumbing fittings to form a nice looking inlet manifold.Then amongst my collection of potentially useful bits, or as my wife calls it 'yur junkpile' i found a couple of brass bits that wound up adorning the mikuni 28mm carb.
Copper & brass engine detailing 
The idea is to only use brass,copper,wood and leather ie nothing  chromed.
The next job is to make a wood & bog casting pattern for my replacement rocker covers as the black plastic originals just arent useable.Ill then visit the local non ferrous foundry and have a pair sand cast in alloy.
