Been setting about converting the original carbide gas headlite to a 12 volt system Disemboweled a small jappa quartz halogen unit off a GSX-R & modified the old shells internals to suit One of my sons works at Metro Glasstech & scored me some fluted obscure glass that will do very nicely for a period style lens Also found a brass windscreen washer bottle off an old Brit sportscar that, once polished up, will fit the overall theme rather well
As you'd expect, no self respecting Steampunk Adventurer & his trusty Velocipede would be without a gimball mounted brass compass/sundial combo.... Heres what I got of Tardme recently,looks like shit now but I expect this will polish up rather nicely! .....'TO THE MAN CAVE!!!'.....& several hours later emerge with the recreated treasure in the pic.......then its on to adapting the sundial to the now polished gimball mount for a truly quasi Victorian Satnav System
Its been a while since my last post, been diverted onto another of my bike projects Anyhoo, recently bought a veteran sidecar chassis, the bones of which will be reborn shortly Ive already got the 23" wheel,tyre & the axle etc so should be straightforward Im aiming to do a wickerwork sidecar body, so time to practice my weaving skills
