got a scoot in at mine ,a perfect example of why you dont store a scooter outside with rubber floor mats , especially after some bad welding which wasnt sealed afterwards IMG_3098 by henri briggs, on Flickr IMG_3099 by henri briggs, on Flickr IMG_3100 by henri briggs, on Flickr . as its a spanish super with the wider legshields ,an damage goes further forward than a floor repair panel will cover . its going to be leggys off ,repair centre tunnel ,off to john for jigging . an then getting a new primavera legshields an floor an horncast fitted ,then probably powder coated rather than painted .H

IMG_3116 by henri briggs, on Flickr . what can only be described loosely as "welding" ,very bad welding from the stevie wonder school of welding . IMG_3117 by henri briggs, on Flickr . nxt its a rapid weight loss diet program ,an start the removal of leg shields . IMG_3118 by henri briggs, on Flickr . much easier to get into the shed an work around now .H

IMG_3142 by henri briggs, on Flickr . made a repair piece up an some reinforcing gussets to overlap the joint , an thats when my welder decided to die on me .

IMG_3143 by henri briggs, on Flickr . not quite the type i wanted ,an was tricky to learn the new set ups ,but after a hours practise on scrap cracked on with frame . IMG_3150 by henri briggs, on Flickr . an the 2 splits in rear bubble aswell . IMG_3148 by henri briggs, on Flickr . now to organise getting it to john to jig .H

That'll all come out in the wash!
I'm sure it will be looking all shiny and new by next week.
Looking forward to seeing the results....

made a start on cleaning the inside of cases , an the loose gears .they have come up good so far ,no damage or rust pitting so will go again . IMG_3216 by henri briggs, on Flickr . cant say the same for the output shaft i'm afraid , IMG_3217 by henri briggs, on Flickr . an had to get medieval on some of the bearings to extract them . IMG_3215 by henri briggs, on Flickr . the tree bearing needed a slide hammer bit welding to it an loads of heat to extract .an the outer race of 2 part fly bearing was staked in an not shifting .so cut the ends off a large frame cruciform an weld it in an drive bearing out .H
