reduced my front end toe-out, it was messed up at Phillip Island, I had made it point straight a few weeks ago, but was tramlining all over the place due to too much toe out. Should be right now

tidied up my rev limiter wiring and put the lid on it's box after adjusting it to about 6600rpm - switching at 220Hz (doesn't that make me sound clever!)

Put a big piece of cork (was the only thing handy) behind the grille - it's been raining here, and last night my pulsar distributor got soaked! it's funny how the pulsar dizzy has gotten wet a few times, but I never ever had problems with my Lucas one getting wet

but it'll be gone soon! because I also had a look at where & how I'll mount my trigger wheel sensor :D

I did some welding on the cage in the Travelle"R". In my other Traveller I did some work on the wiring harness and got the wiring from the ignition working, the parking light system working and I got the wipers working. I freed up the seized choke pull cable and removed some bits of rust.

Spent ages trying to work out why my headlights (and parkers) won't work, and why was my battery 'kill switch' light is on all the time? After removing the stereo to get access to the light switch ('must be that!'), then the dash out to get to the relay that works the battery kill switch light..... Keep hearing the headlight relay click whenever it wants to and nothing happening....
Ends up it was the battery power cable spade clip onto the soliniod battery connection, just a bit rusty/dirty, tightened the clip up, all fixed!

Now I just have to re-build the dash/stereo, oh well at least I was out of the rain! Lucky I have no more hair to pull out! LOL

Removed all Rubbish that had been "placed" in there :twisted: I think the boys walk past and because it doesn't have a door they think "ah, a rubbish bin." Maybe I'll place all said rubbish on their front seats :D

I started cleaning up and removing paint from the Engine Bay

Investigated a small crack in the paintwork near the RHF A Pillar, not too bad.

Investigated a small rust bubble in the bottom of the RHR panel, found about 10mm thickness of Bog just above the sill :evil: :twisted:

Not too much done. but its a start.
