Nice. NSP boys are keeping the thread alive...

So, I followed Steve's @Stump Shot advice and pressed the bar studs out and trued up the mount pad with a flat file.

No drips, no runs, no errors.

Dan, I know you said slow, but get anything more done on this?

I'll be updating later today. Doing some saw work later today. Waiting for bearings before I can start assembly.

I just got done re-coating and baking all the parts for the build. I wasn't liking the color. It looks a lot better now.

Made a little trip to town and was pleasantly surprised that all my 288 stuff arrived yesterday.

 

[AlfA01]

Got some stuff done tonight. More to come tomorrow.

Great job on the powder Dan, looks perfect. Have you ever run a 288 or is this your first?

Thanks Mike.

I'm digging the 288.

Thanks. First one. I got my 181 running right away, so I have a feel for the chassis. I'm pretty excited to run the big boy though.

The cat knocked my flywheel off the bench and broke a fin. I've got a new one being shipped soon. Thanks to @jacob j. for hooking me up.


I've got two covers. Neither are in the best shape but they will do for now. IllI keep an eye out for minty one in the future.

Those covers are still available Dan last time i checked

Nice. I'll have to see if I can order one.

Any part numbers for the high top?
