Absolutely incredible stuff. That tapped plate is such a brilliant idea. The saving of the original manifold was also just a cherry on top. Great video.
Thanks for the compliments. I thought the tapped plate idea on my own but I'd be really surprised if someone else hasn't thought of it first. I like machine work so more is definitely coming.
Also, did you pour that new oil in there for dramatic effect when you removed the drain plug!!!? Cause I know it has stopped leaking years ago and that is the sign of no oil in a British bike.
There’s two different acorn nuts and of course there’s two different sizes. That’s gold!

Is it REALLY a British bike if it does not leak?????
Somehow never occurred to me to manually turn a tap in a drill press; that's a really good idea. The animation is pretty impressive, too.
Thanks!
Great video! Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks!
Nice explanation on the carb operation.
Thanks for the feedback! Always helpful to know what people find interesting.

There must be British elves in your basement because there was about a quart of fresh oil in there.
