Fitting the Tyre Pump

Morning. 

In a previous post "Vintage Air Pump for Toolkit" I have mentioned that I have managed to get a used, brass motorcycle tyre pump on eBay. 

The pump has arrived a week or so ago. I have taken it apart, resprayed the pump body black, greased all of the parts and reassembled the pump. It is working great!

With the pump working, I have fitted the pump, using the original pump clamps that I have sandblasted and painted many moons ago. 

Here is a photo - notice that I have used friction tape on the rear crash bar to prevent the clamps from sliding around.
