Had you moved into the house after the kitchen was fitted and did not know where the cables were fitted and you wanted to drill the wall, the sensible thing to do is test the walls with a suitable device.Then you would know where a cable or pipe is.

With the greatest of respect I think you are worrying needlessly.
Think it will look nice when it is finished.
I take it the walls will be tiled so any plastering,cabling will not be seen.
Tiling all the kitchen floor before fitting the base units is a waste of tiles and money.
Once the floor is tiled and the kick boards are in place under the units is not seen.
As has been said,when finished a certificate should be obtained for the electrics.

Excellent job.

Not nit picking here BUT if you look at the picture showing the clocks, pic 11 you'll notice the tank has some weird white stuff showing on the leading edge and that the chrome strip doesn't fit that area at all. Perhaps Menno would know what the white stuff is but it looks like filler to me which does detract a little from what is essentially a very nice looking bike.

Could be a touch of rust with polish clogged in it.

I just added one to the toolkit from Lidl, I reacon it could be quite handy for seeing inside a gearbox to spot if the selector dogs still are there - for those times you find debris in the sump - so often I find the debris relates to past issues that are already resolved, makes a stripdown into a waste of gasketts. Also it has hooks and magnet attatchments so you have a good chance of retrieving odd bits dropping into a sump or whatever if you can see it and get the hook in in one hit. It also crossed my mind it might well reassure buyers of my variety of old rotovators and hydraulic kit if they could sneak a peak inside the bowels of the machine as well as see it run.
Oh yes, and inspect inside frame or chasis rails to assess rust - most of my expirience of rotted chasis or frames seems to point to them rotting internally whilst not looking too bad externally, on both cars and bikes.

You certainly put forward a good case for buying one.

Hi,
There is an American guy on youtube rebuilding a Honda cb750.
"Hackaweektv"
On episode 40 it shows him rebuilding a revcounter with a new face.
It may give you an idea of what to do.
Hope this helps,Aly.

You were well paid, I used to get half a crown from my dads boss for going out with him for a Saturday(2shillings and sixpence to you young uns)

The good old days.
In 1973 I bought a new Triumph Bonneville T120R for £518.00,wonder what that would be worth now.
