I just looked at the date of my last post. I am not sure where the time has gone however, some of it has clearly been in the workshop.
One of the jobs I was less keen on doing was the front wheel covers. The brackets which came with the kit don't give a great deal of confidence and reading recent posts on the GKD Owners Club site I am pretty sure I have trouble ahead. I decided to push on without modification and just get the job done. One aspect I did want to ensure was mini-missing the weight of the cover. I bent the bracket  over the tyre using wood spacers. Inside the cover I used 50x25mm alloy extrusion to space the cover away from the tyre. I then made up the wiring loom for the indicator and side repeater. The pictures tell the story:



I have used M8 bolts to hold the cover in place. these go through the cover, space and into the bracket to which I welded a nut. The spacer and cable bases are held in place with Sikaflex.
