That looks like new, you must have spent hours on it.
Did you replace the various bolts during the rebuild?

lots of time over the winter spent cleaning and painting...
some bolts are new, others cleaned and painted.... (it's amazing how some things come up after a good scrub!!)
BTW - a big thanks to Big Steve for all his help in the taking out and putting back in phases of operations!! :D

That looks great, how did you get on with the gearbox in the end, did you keep the original?
Look forward to seeing it this year at some point.
