I think I slipped you a bullseye towards the build after you helped me solve my own issue with the troublesome throttlebody on my own zed when I first got it and for that I’m still eternally grateful!

I’d love put dibs on your battery bracket and bolt if poss?
And what are u doing with the nav screen if it has one?

Good luck with the new addition!
Your very welcome. I knew straight away what the problem was! Battery bits are yours if I have them. I fitted a light weight race battery years ago.
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!
