You have been able to read about what has happened to me in the past year on a regular basis, and you will continue to be able to do so. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your encouragement during the last 12 months, which also carried me through the one or other low motivation, especially in the cold season.
I am especially happy that some of you even scraped together your German language skills to send me your encouragement in my mother tongue. I feel very honoured.
Since the pandemic will stay with us for some time, I'm rolling up my sleeves again and continuing. After all, I don't want to let the flow break.
I continue with some sheet metal work:
Since I also want to sit as comfortably as possible in the Broadspeed, I had already welded in the internal cross member rotated by 180°. The seat mounts are now at the back. Of course, this doesn't help much as long as the seat doesn't get enough space to the rear. I therefore shortened the rear side pockets by about 10 cm. I had kept the pieces I had cut out so that I could use them again. But then I decided to rebuild them directly. I folded a suitable piece of sheet metal, then bent the radius over two gas bottle caps, formed a bead at the top for the chrome strip and finally welded them in. Now this also gives the seats enough space towards the rear.
O my, it keeps going on and on again.
