During this thread, the wise slim_boy_fat asked:

Should there be, or are you going to fit, a guard on that belt/wheel?

Good point, and an excellent excuse to spend the last two sun-soaked days in the garage, well out the way of that pesky sunburn

First, we needed some CAD - Cardboard Aided Design (copyright Bad Obsession Motorsport):

Then some plasma cutting later...

I was quite pleased at how my arc welding turned out, given my MIG is still up the swanny...

Why have I never thought of you as having a Scottish accent?

 

[Shox Dr]

That sounds well

 

[slim_boy_fat]

@skotl Impressive!! And, majorly safer....

Looks good, stick a bean can over the spring as well

Great to see what you have done with the old Rapidor, Eddy the previous owner will be looking down on you with a smile

Oh - that's really nice of you to say so, Tom - that actually does mean a lot to me. I've enjoyed getting the old gal going - love using it!

Do like I do, wear your Crocs in the workshop If someone sounds Scottish does it mean they sound a bit like Scott ?

Nah - I'm from Edinburgh so am somewhat understandable. Now... Arbroath or Fraserburgh...
