Chain tensioner

Made up a chain tensioner. I managed to track down an 'idler' gear that comes with a built in bearing to run on, and turned up a bush to sit inside it.



Then I made a slot in a 5mm plate for it to fix to



I got it jammed in place with a bit of pipe and welded it to the frame





Also spent some time tonight working on the rear fender. Decided it was high time I cleaned up my welding and sorted this gusset out.



Made the gusset out of 10mm plate and welded it in



The chain clashes wih the rear fender so I'm going to have to cut some bits out of it :(
