I had been toying with the idea of using this long seat on the Peugeot for a while. I had originally used it on my Tomos when it was more of a daily rider bike. Anyway I offered it up and the front bolted straight on. I really like the look and once I sat on it that really made my mind up. It's so comfortable.

Peugeot 103 long seat
Peugeot rear mudguard + paint
I had this mudguard off an older 103 in the spares box and liked the look of it. I used a flap wheel to key the paint and remove any surface rust. Next I used some white primer. Once that's dry I'll paint it black to match the frame.
Reversed freewheel broken and fixed
After installing the new chains I peddled the Peugeot to check all the belts and pullies were working as they should. It didn't take long before the freewheel bent the bolt holding it in place and unscrewed itself.
I beefed up the bolts holding it in place so will see if it holds up.

Peugeot engine and radiator install
When I came to intall the engine on the new frame I found that the hole through the frame was 10mm but the hole through the engine was only an 8mm. I bought some M8 rod and 8mm id tube for spacers and it bolted on perfectly. Im still not sure of the angle that the engine needs to sit at so the carb clears the frame but for the photo I jammed the spring in there so the belt was tight. I also fitted the radiator and adjusted the stop on the front forks so it didnt hit it.
