Well done Dom, nice to hear some progress.
Good to fettle unexpected problems, it’s why we do it. If you ever do another just think of the confidence and knowledge you’ve accrued

Very satisfying, well done mate

It's coming along nicely Roo, I'm looking forward to getting it painted but I think I'll get it on the road to get some miles on it first.  Definitely got an oil leak from the new oil pump o rings so whether I've pinched it when assembling I'm not sure.

Which O ring? Cover or pump to crankcase?

Pump to crankcase it appears Bryan

*thinking about it now I wonder if its the oil pressure switch, as its fresh oil its so clean its hard to trace but I may just remove it and put a couple of turns of ptfe around it carefully
