FOR SALE - Drew and Alan's sidecar build

**Drew** · 28th February 2013, 17:43

More progress today. Finished up the brakes with new lever and bolted it all up properly. Much more direct action now, and the lever mounted on bearings instead of twisting on it's pivot.

We need a better filler for the cooling system still. Takes ages to bleed the air out of the system now.

Did you make sure the filler is the highest point of the system?

**Drew** · 28th February 2013, 19:26

Yeah, but only just. Hence the need to sort it.

Cheers for that.

Mounting the filler higher isn't overly easy is the only problem. I'll look into it next week if Al doesn't beat me to it.

There's bugger all left to do for tech inspection now.

I thought it was common knowledge that I'm retarded. Wonder who's spreading these nasty rumors about me.

We've got an in line filler thing with a long neck. Just need to look into where it can go to get more height.

Taken this afternoon. I still need to make a new clevis for the brake lever and shorten the length of the peg down.

I would.post picture of my setup but i cant post pics for some strange reason. Its so simple you will shit yourself. The filler neck is welded to the lefthand side of the water rail on the rear of the block, and comes out flush with the top of the rocker cover next to the carb.
