Pinstripes

Masked and painted in the gold pin stripes between blue upper and silver sheen lower parts of the fuel tank. Doesn't look quite as good as a hand-painted stripe by some old geezer in a brown overall, but it'll do just fine.

Rubber

The trials tyres arrived, so I've wrapped them round the rebuilt rims. The 4x18 rear is pretty easy to find in a variety of vintage-looking brands (this is a Bridgestone) but 19-inch trials tyres are now a rarity. This is an Ensign, and it matches the look of the old Dunlop Trials Universals pretty well.

Tank

Been busy with the paint & masking tape this weekend. Just need to add the gold pinstriping, several coats of lacquer and the tank badges.

Wheel #2

Have been held up waiting for the rear wheel rim which was on back-order at CWC. It finally landed last Wednesday and I built it up the same evening. All stainless - rim, spokes & nipples. Should last almost for ever and still look good.

Paint

Have started painting. Sidepanel and oil tank, plus the fork shrouds I made earlier.

Tinware

My TR6R came with lights originally, but I'm rebuilding it as a US West Coast TR6C....no lights. This means that my upper forks shrouds with headlamp brackets aren't going to be right, so I've made a couple of shrouds without the bracket.

Pipes

Fitted some '67 TR6C pipes - both on the left side, high pipes. The silencers were optional back in the day, so I'm going to see just how loud it is and get some silencers if it's really TOO much.
