Looking fantastic Jim.

What front wheel is fitted? I think the full width hub the same as the early scorpion is correct but the one in the photo looks like an early Husky?

It has the scorpion pegs and mounts which is really good as the originals are fixed pegs I think.

Please keep us up to date as I think they are one of the prettiest bikes of the period

The plastic tank's gotta go Jim :o. One of the defining and really cool things about the 'Orange Crate' Montys is the fibreglass tank, there's nothing else like it.
