Finishing touches to me Trumpet

Been riding the old beasty every day last week - had a couple of maintenance issues to resolve 
#1 The coils needed replacing as one of the old pair was breaking down - fitted a twin outlet Dyna 3 ohm and all's sweet again.
#2 Friday got caught in a downpour on way home
and the thottle started to get real stiff; thought cable was fraying and getting stuck so got home using about 1/8 throttle so as not to snap the b*****d.
So today stripped the carb (Amal 930) and polished the slide & carb body. Then set the float height as it was running rich since I fitted the special "sink-proof" float. These carbs only have main jet - no pilot as the mix is controlled by float height at part throttle
#3 Finally (after 3 yrs) got round to fitting the tank bagdes....
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Used P38 to fix the nuts to the tank as I didn't want to risk welding or drilling the tank
