All filters have been changed including the 1997 installed inner air filter along with sourcing NOS 1P2299 fuel filters and a 2P4005 eng oil filter to add some neat period correct touches to the machine. An original unstamped Waugh & Josephson dealer ID plate was also sourced and i just stamped it today to again add some period correct detail to the machine as it was sold new by W & J in 1980. And a full set of service and operational manulas along with parts books has been donated by Paul Doig.

Superb work! I’d recommend these guys if they’re anywhere near you for solid practical solutions to any problems you’ve got; https://www.cuttingedgeengineering.com.au/ Probably miles away as everything is in Australia!

***Hey, Chapter 29! That is one very cool project. I would love to see it one day in person. Lots of love and dedication; go big or go home...LOL.
