A lovely looking little Special, well done !! I'll weigh in for 368kg's...better make sure those chocolate Hobnobs are packed for International travel....
I'm curious about the distributor placement and how you drive it, also the head with the welch plugs on the side, central water off take etc, etc..... On both our single seaters we've modified the dizzy end plate & drive to seat up against the alloy cam gear casting cover, so dispensing with the generator but keeping a short shaft as short of running it from the nose of the cam we couldn't see any other drive options
A lot of 'stuff' under that little bonnet, must have taken many hours of careful engineering, I know how long it's taken us and we've only built ours as a Hillclimb special, no generator, 12v alarm battery to provide the sparks, changed for a fresh one half way through the day. Hand pressurised fuel tank etc. Far simpler than yours
How have you secured your rear panhard rod, I presume from that substantial tube frame behind your back ?
Cheers
