Another productive (Sun)day in the garage!

As it was pouring outside the whole day, I did a lot work on the Streaker today.
First of all: Cut a hole in the carpet and install the cleaned and greased shifter:



Detail: The later shifter has a poly bushing to prevent rattling:



Shifter cleaned, greased and installed and tested for function:

 Then it was time to install the new carburator:



I took some time to rework the "elbows" for better gas flow.

both sides finished:




The new hotness, installed and tested:






Finally, I did some wiring for the tail lights:
right side: 4 spade connector with separate earth connector (the glass fibre wings have no ground connection). A rubber grommet guides the cables through the sidewall:

On the left side: same set up:
