It's time of year again, Bantamites - time for Little Willie's MoT! Doesn't it come round fast? It's actually due this Saturday, but I'll probably give her a good check over during the next few days, then book her in for sometime next week. Little Willie will be off the road until then, of course!
Already I've started doing some work on the Bantam as I've just finished replacing the battery, which had ceased to hold its charge. Maybe being only a 6v 2amp had something to do with it, so I've now fitted a 6v 8a I bought online at http://www.whitedogbikes.com

It was a bit bigger than the previous battery so I had to design and fit a clamp to hold it in place. I had to flatten the flanges on the original battery tray so the new battery would sit firmly on it. And I also put some padding (a bit of old carpet!) inside the clamp to pack it out a bit. But it works fine and looks OK as well, at least I think so.
