1970 Velocette Thruxton recommissioning

 
I stole away a few moments this evening to make some progress to the Velo before the holiday consumes any free time. From the last shop time, the next chore was to install the piston and barrel.  It could have been done shortly after I received circlips from Ed G at the Toyshop West, but I didn't want to miss any subtle details in the assembly.  
Here is a quick video with some of the process put the top end back on the Velo. Not the greatest video work, but better than nothing.

Here are a few more pictures...

Next step will be to degrease the rocker box gasket surface and get the rocker box done up.
