nice job, from experience I know that newsletters are a lot of work.

and thanks for publishing my silly cartoon.

you mention looking for build photos for future issues, you're welcome to any of mine in my facebook T4 build folder here: https://tinyurl.com/wrpk8l9 (anybody wants in just send a friend request)

some "non-stock" features I've illustrated are:
alternate oil cooler mount (Norge 2V)
alternate coil location bracket
hood (bonnet) modifications (wiper cutout fill-ins, faux vents)
revise dash to accept Norge instrument cluster, leather wrap
magnetic latch glovebox cover
removeable footwell enclosures
center rollbar fabrication and mount
rear ABS fender (mudguard) mount
Tribal Whip LED display/brake light install
alternate Brooklands windscreen stanchions
Triumph Thruxton taillight assy install (I had Alan remove the rear T/L bump-outs)

plus a series on dismantling the Norge donor

in the middle of wiring now (thanks JT!), next up paint and final assembly

btw happy new year all

Thank you Frederick for your contribution to the newsletter both the masthead and racing cartoon plus the Christmas T4 Cartoon which has been enjoyed on many different pages and Trifles this Christmas.
Fed the loom in to the rear of the car yesterday so I am on my way too.
Thank you for the offer of T4 stuff and I'll get a little in next time and eke it out over several issues.
All the best for 2020 and a finish of the build.
Richard
