I am also currently working on 'Wilma; same era and also a 501 Tiger,
I know what you have done - that lovingly created track cable is on the wrong side of the tank............I feel your pain...........

We have a winner! It has since been amended, much better! I'm looking forward to seeing how wilma progresses! Will you be repositioning the head lights and using the slotted exhaust covers?

Just super glue, for bits like this it would be too obvious to pin. Things like tools will be though.

At least you were man enough to admit the mistake Mr Hugill, after all that work you could have fallen back on 'field mod' or something rather than re do it all, but must be satisfying to know its right now and the project can continue.

Any ideas how your doing the exhaust guards? Aber are making a whole set to be released soon but they haven't said if they will let you buy bits separately.
