I don't know why some links require login? Happens to me too. No rhyme or reason.

Horn arrived. The bracket turned out to be identical to the original. Bolted it up, plugged it in and we now have a reliable toot. Pity the horn body has a cover over it though. Identical apart from that.
New horn.

Always happy to help out when and where I can.

Plenty of forum folk have helped me out over the years, so only fair that I reciprocate.

Finished for chrimbo yesterday. Nursing an epic hangover, I took myself into the conservatory this lunchtime and pottered around a bit.
Fitted the rear indicator brackets I made from the internal structure of my handbrace. I have no idea of the material, very odd. It is very light, I bet both brackets only weigh 4 grammes together, but appears to be stronger and more bend resistant than mild steel of the same dimensions. I thought it might have been titanium, but it did not cut or drill like titanium. Magnesium? Either way they are gratifyingly sturdy. Far better than expected. Needed quite a bit of force to press the double register bend into them.
I did not bother to paint them because the indicators ground through them. I will see what they look like when the rear fender is finished and fitted. I will probably paint them then.
I fitted Gr8uncleals switch toggle - fitted like it should. Thanks again Al. I have a selection of paint pens at work of different colours. When dealing with multiple shafts, spacers, clips, clutches and bearings you need to have a means of colour coding them to aid rebuilding after they have been sat waiting for the customer go ahead for six months.
I thought to bring the red one home to colour in the toggle as it should be, but I forgot....
Flasher can arrived. Plugged it in and as the experts on here advised, it was obvious that the ground connection was shorting the power. Cut off the ground ( cut blade terminal off the can, not the wire ) and we now have working flashers.
Brackets fabricated and rear indicators fitted.

UnckleAls toggle fitted perfectly. Other indicator now has its dome nut.

Starting to look like a motorcycle again.. Need to reroute the throttle cable according ti the good book. It should go behind the indicator. The metal elbow will need straightening a little to achieve that without introducing a sharpish bend in the cable.

Thanks for the update on the flasher can!
With the possibility of getting reproductions made for almost anything these days, maybe someday someone will come up with one.

I had a lookaround and a think about things and came to a very distressing conclusion.
There is one item left on the list to do.....
That feckin rear fender and its blob of body clag. I can hear it now, out in the shed laughing its head off. I cannot steadfastly ignore it any longer.
