I may not use it on the RL Tim but I have a '72/'73 TM250 long term project it could certainly be used on ;D I think the only other biggy I need for this project is a pipe but something will turn up. I have a TS250 pipe and while it would really suck to fit it at least I'd breeze through under 96db :D

Tim I was looking at a NOS TS250 kit pipe the other day for $199 buy now $60 postage. If I were a little better off I would have swooped but $250 is still $250 and I budget around the 100 mark for a used pipe. Unfortunately the costing rules out Geoff's lovely pipes also but ya get that. What I liked most about this particular kit pipe was it exited to the left. The only 1 I'd ever seen do this  8)

I reckon we could knock up a decent glass seat base doc . a steel one in decent nick for an RL my be  asking a bit too much.. would only need a can of bog to patch up the existing  for a decent mould and about two metres of 450CSM and a litre of resin and  a bit of scrap flat bar for some ears.

 i think i have worked out why she was painted yellow. beamish look alike  ;)

mmm..I dunno whether the owner/painter would have even known of the Beamish RL's existance Pokey. A lot of these were black and red but yes, some yellow with larger triangular sidecovers. Be nice to find an RL325 motor eh! ;) will think about the fibreglass base cause the seat is a bit of an eyesore that bothers me greatly. I was going to recover till I peaked udderneath and :o ucky, nice home for funnelbacks or redwebs so I sprayed it with Mortein and refitted it pronto  ;D

Beamish 325


Just think of the rust holes as racing holes ;D

 Only take a a sunny day to knock up a small part like that, I think i still have a few mtres of cloth and  some resin at my bro's  but be easier to grab  some over this side of the creek,is a place over at Hemmant
 about $7 for 500ml resin and about $12 for 2mtrs 450 CSM  and a little bottle of MEK catalyst for $3. That will have a nice strong lightweigt and rust free base without anyplaces for kangawallafoxes  to hide  ;D

enough cloth and resin  and no prob Tim. just aslong as it aint got any bloody metal stand offs. They are a bitch to get to stay in the right spot.

 the base i made for the 185 was a big lurning curve with bloody stand offs, Ears are dead easy  ;D
