I have to agree the flywheel looks so much better with a bare metal polished rim rather than completely painted all over.
Really changes the look doesn't it Philip.

Quality workmanship Jim!
Not really, I'm just a backyard metal basher.
A metal basher of the highest order Sir 😉😊👍
Way to kind my friend, its seeing work like what you produce Bruce that gives me the incentive to have a go at learning new skills and trying different things.

You guys are killing me with the nice mods on this engine that seems relatively easy to personalize....while I wait for my shipment to arrive :'(
I have a mod in mind I have not seen anyone do yet...for now it will remain under wraps, but if it works I will sing like a Canary! 8)

Thanks all.

Looks real good Jim , topnotch mods on that one.

Looking good Jim 8) Definitely going to have to add oil cups to mine
The red off the flywheel ...PMR should save on red paint ;D
I think that was off within the same hour that I'd seen yours off ;)
Not going to go ahead with the hot pink flywheel? 😂
Can't show Jen, she might say "oooh I like that " :) :) :)

Also made an 'ember catcher' I have some stainless steel flyscreen (it comes painted black)and fitted it into the part I made that sits in the PMR chimney. I'm not sure if I'm 100% sold on the look of it yet. Its sitting too high, but I didn't want to cut down the PMR stack -

Some small PMR Peanut Rider mods that I have been mucking around doing in the shed as the weather has been not to stinking hot.
Took Nicks advice and cut the red back on the flywheel.....wow what a difference that made. Looks like a completely different engine and to me more upmarket and expensive :)
Turned up some brass bolts to replace the PMR screws -

Very carefully hand filed the top of the shaft support (a mill would be too rough) and then super carefully drilled to take some friction fitted oiler cups that I turned up -
