Building up commences with fitting new tyres, bought them on line from Bigtyres.co.uk, highly recommended, ordered at 1pm delivered 10.30am next day. The engine was then lifted on to the frame. The pump was then installed and we started to put back the controls. The throttle rod proved more difficult until we realised we had transposed the levers. Both are identical apart from the on and off being opposite. Then we made a start of the tin work, the tank frame and fitting the tanks and bonnet cowl.
