now the pk has gone ,time to do a quick assembly job on a et3 ,this is how it arrived . IMG_1927 by henri briggs, on Flickr . owners painted it ,with rattle cans but quite a good job ,some bits missed in prep but overall very presentable . he wants it built up for his daughter too ride .so a start with new loom an cables run .an then the badges . IMG_1929 by henri briggs, on Flickr . IMG_1931 by henri briggs, on Flickr . an rear light an horn fitted , loom had all the right size connectors crimped an soldered on 1st .an then onto the front end ,forks where delivered pre-built an muddy was on them before .so none of the usual fettling/fitting issues ,just straight on . IMG_1936 by henri briggs, on Flickr . build up the headset 1st ,then on it goes an start cabling with front brake cable 1st . nxt its go get the engine i built about 4 months ago from my garage an fit it ,then its rest of cabling an wiring connected .an a few other little jobs an it will be ready to go outside an be tested ,though i will test electrics indoors 1st . use to use a 12 volt battery to do that but you cant test horns or indicator relays then . now have a variable AC/DC power supply i can hook up an test electrics with ,so much easier to problem solve without having to have engine running .H
