mike d

thanks MY LORD

bulk i believe is the same casting as a WD, but the WLB1 has a very thick white metal shaft, theres a few other small differances aswell

HI Ryan i see your head (i.e. the part with the spark plug hole in it) has studs to mount the hopper, wouldnt the hopper be mounted to the head with the head bolts? I ask this as my head does not have studs in it? confused as per usual.

crank case has been cleaned, bearings and insides are super and had a spray of WD40 to stop rust, heres pics so far

that is looking good ryan i am waiting for mine to come back from being sand blasted then i will be able to start painting mine and putting back together

they havent got the grit inside the case, know someone who had that happen to them not long ago. just check everything before bringing it home

Looking good ryan take your time and let that paint dry ,it's wourth the wait

doing the 2nd coat on friday, then thats it for a month or to, looking foreward to the final result though

Looking spot on mate!!

Youve cracked on a bit since thursday!!

Cant wait to see it finished

One thing i would still move it from where it is lol!!

Adam

ignore all the red oxide around the case covers, that will all be removed to form perfect gaskets

im using international japlec recommended buy hope and crank, its expensive costing £27.99 per litre, but i gotta say, its the best i have used, its nearly hard withing 6 hours, its amazing no runs, i was keeping the colours quite, but its going to be black with gold rims on the flywheels and name plate letters are also gold , im going to try and get a large wolseley gold transfer made up for the hopper

Hi Ryan!!

That does look nice actually!!

It will stand out at shows!!

Adam

but once the red oxide is removed will look ok, i got a very un steady hand, hense dodgy paint work, but as you know, me engines always look nice in the end

Looking good I like Black and Gold will look fantastic
Chris

Hi Ryan!

Thats looking good!

Are you pleased with it?

Cant wait to see it

Adam

the pictures dont do it justice, its stunning in the flesh and the paint looks alot better

When are you going to put the yellow dots on it!

are you on about the full stops on the name plate, if so put your glasses on cause there on there

it now belongs to a really nice couple, they are wolseley collectors, they have one of every model apart from a WLB9 , im glad its become part of a collection and who nos if you live around Burton-on-trent you may one day see it at a rally
