The lighted HS40 pretty much mocked up. Toycartony parted with his Powell spark arrestor as a gift. Thank you sir. I added a slash cut tail pipe which clears the frame and should burn my leg pretty good.
That awesome velocity stack is one made my Kustomkartkid. I really like it. It sits right in the middle of the frame almost to the swing arms, but clears everything. For an informative and interesting thread on how he machined it, click

The metal tank replaces a white plastic one I was going to use, and is more in keeping with what Powell had on these. I got the tank from Johnny Tillotson. I'll paint it white.
Something else I have been toying with for quite some time is this Le Pere solo seat. Front mount is on bronze bushings. Temporarily supported now, it will have two 3" coil springs. My thought was to keep the seat mount in some semblance of the original Powell tacky, yet unrefined, with a utilitarian look. I dismantled the original seat mount to build this. They're simple to reproduce, so I am not concerned with losing this piece.
Once the springs are in, I will see how much (if any) flex is there and gusset as required. It feels pretty strong.
