Festival Essentials

A quick link update before we leave for the Festival of Power. The event will be covered as usual by eurodragster.com and you can find the live reports, commentary and webcam links here on the event coverage page

With the bike now very nearly ready (i have 2 fuel pumps to replace after both the brand new ones i bought were found to be faulty, one ran for a few minutes then stopped, the other never worked at all), I've had a bit of time to work again on the new bike. I've made a fuel tank out of stainless steel - it's thin so ain't too heavy, although a lighter replacement will probably be on the agenda at some point in the future. It's been the first real job for my new welder and i found it pretty easy to do with it set on pulse. It holds just 1.4L of fuel, and it'll be rubber mounted and fastens to the frame with 2 rubber battery straps that go right under it and i thought were ideal for the job.
