P1 250 Project Bultaco

Postby captainkcorb » Fri Mar 30, 2012 12:33 pm

After a year of neglect, it looks like the Metralla will be on the track this year. I'll post a few pictures as it moves forwards, and hopefully they'll both be interesting and act as a goad to me to keep the nose to the grindstone.

Here's a shot of the original Metralla Mk2. It's a 67 by the serial number and is complete if cosmetically challenged. Step one, over a year ago now was to remove most of the tinware and stash it away for a likely return to original down the road.

Skipping forward to the present, there have been a few changes. Clipons, exhaust, carb adapter spigot, and rearset pegs with gear and brake linkages have all been made up. The front has been shimmed up a bit, and the fairing mounting brackets are in progress. I thought I'd be using a Honda tank for it but thanks to Don Wrag, I now have an original tank suitable for the track (ie, it's already got dents and bruises). Pat had made me a lengthened Manx style seat to suit the short Honda tank so it'll be getting trimmed substantially.

More to follow in the (hopefully) near future.
Cheers!

Very nice Brock, keep us up-to-date on its progress! There will be more 250's than 500's in P1 if this keeps up! :shock:

Looks great Brock! It's been so long since I've seen an original, I kinda forgot what it looked like. Three of these together on the grid should make a great photo op for Shannonville!
