    Bottom one catches my eye, a sort of correct orientation of a see through engine.

    What a great use for these, @Iron. And, though simple, they are stunning works of art. :heart_eyes: Actually, in thinking about it, perhaps they are stunning works of art because they are simple. What are you going to do with them? I might consider buying that middle one if it's for sale. ;):)

    @Sandi T , thanks, these were just something nice to do.
    The crossed ones will go with the rebuilt bike when it's sold. (something for the new owner from the bike's origins). The others already have homes with pals.

    I do have some others planned and will post some pictures - as long as I don't cock them up, which is a lot easier to do than you think when attacking alluminium alloy with a hacksaw - and we can PM then if anyone is interested.
    Thanks again......:) over...

    @Markus, thanks, I'll post some pictures and point you and @Sandi T to them when they are done, probably a couple of weeks yet.
