Cleckos

Funny name. Another one could have been "provisory rivets". This would have explained the function as well. A spring loaded inner mechanism expands with the special tool pictured. Then the clecko is fixed and the spring released.

 

One pic instead of thousand words, a few cleckos help to provisorily fix the panel. Than I can mark the big holes for the brake master cylinders and cut them out.

As soon as the panel is fixed, the brake master cylinders can be mounted. For good.

Backside of the pedalbox prior to mount the pedals. Throttle and brake linkage are solved, a solution for the clutch activation has to be invented yet. But this is basic mechanics and feasable (hopefully...).

Cheers.

Repro

Not the best workshop session tonight because I'm not completely satisfied with my work. Half way through, it became obvious that the reproduced new panel will not enter the frame with the engine already mounted. Two possibilities:
#1 engine out - panel in - engine in
#2 cutting the panel into two pieces
As it will almost not be visible, I opted for solution #2. It would have been nice to have that panel in one piece, but the amount of work would have been immense. Heat shield will cover the cut.

Split panel in place with Sicaflex for sealing and fixing, 4x12mm rivets with large heads. Imagine some heat shield on it and the swirl pot fuel tank mounted. A.s.a.p. I will add a pic with the panel in focus.
Cheers.
