    Almost there!

    Well, members may not be aware, but there has been a lot of to-ing and fro-ing about where to bolt on my shed creations. And so it was that this day in the year of my bike 2008, I put drill bit to virgin paint and doth did press the trigger!

    And here they are. The rear can carrier still has to be powder coated, but that will have to wait. As such I have only rivetted the locking arm in two places instead of all 6 on the hinges. In the end id is all outside the triangle, but not by much and still lower than a tourtank 7 gallon effort. I opted for the upright arrangement as it avoids the risk of leaks and I noticed that any bouncing of the chair on its rubber mounts would have interfered with the carrier so, although it looked good in situ, I would have been swearing in every language I know at the first pot hole on my road (and there are many!) I have mounted it on think rubber washers to absorb vibration. Toward the front and on the triangles very border is my trenching tool holder, and as an after thought I butchered a cargo net to make a carry all bit under the boot's lid.

    Piccies attached including one of Pretzel the dog, soon to be the Siberian Monkey!
