Project started
October 2023,
| This week we completed the jig and cut off everything unneeded
from the donor frame. We decided to go for a 40 degree neck angle.
In the pic below you can see how the neck-jig is mounted to the
table and how we transfer the neck position from my drawing to
the real thing. |



| Before removing the last bits of the frame we added 2 supports
to the jig that will make it easier to position the new tubes |




| The front motormount casting will be reused, so Aad removed
all the remains of the old frametubes. |


| The fifth transmission mount was removed as the
transmssion will be offset slightly anyway, we will put that back
later. Next the old coating will be removed and the welds cleaned
up on the parts that will be reused. |
