Moved on to Hi-Tech now ............. gone from Cardboard Aided Design to Wood Aided Design !!!
However, while I'm waiting for the headstock and top tube to be tacked, I thought I'd just check my original sums.
Here's the headstock at 67 degrees, the rake is 3 1/2". It can't be finalised until I get the headstock assembly, but we're in the ballpark. I also need to get the rear engine plate ass'y sorted so I can position the engine - mainly from a cosmetic point. I started out with 5" ground clearance, but that will place the engine too low and look a bit stupid. 7" will still give me plenty of clearance between the carb [ tallest point ] and the underside of the 2" x 2" top box tube. I want to leave enough room behind the engine to mount the cut down 2 gallon vintage petrol can - which will be my fuel cell [ 1 3/4 galls - imperial ].
