Little things


 Today was a day for some little stuff, finishing up the fuel tank, making some gaskets for the door handles and cleaning the seat runners while waiting for a parts delivery from SNG Barrett.

Folks often joke about the paint on things like the gas tank, splash pans and so forth,  describing it as original if it is drippy and runny black paint. Guess it's like the Corvette folks who look for orange peel on their cars to mimic the original look.  Well this certainly looks OEM


Painted and ready to install

Making a template for the rubber gaskets under the handles

Completed gaskets

The seat runners, very grimy 

The runners are usually bound up from the natural course of years of use.  These were no different and to get them apart one has to flatten or drill out the dimple that keeps them together. Once that is done the halves can be separated and the pieces can be cleaned and lubricated.
Completed and ready to go in
