Terrific clean-up job on the carb!  You have much more patience than I would in that situation.
Good luck on the rebuild!

Pretty typical.  You can buy them ready-made.  It's also an easy fab if you have a welder.

I think I will make my own with inexpensive and replaceable nyliner bushings.

I used bronze bushings in mine and fit grease nipples as well.

My cheap HF furniture dollies with plywood addition allowed me to easily spin car around in garage to start removal of the other sear....

The plan is to spend Mondays and a couple of evenings a week working on the Europa.... Hope to have chassis and drivetrain gone through by the end of 2021.....

Second seat extraction went quicker than the first....still had to drill rear bolts from underneath on this one, so still no fun. This seat has better sheet metal....some holes were drilled in the floor on this side so the water probably ran out.....

Second pic is more squirrel residue... :o

It sounded easy, "remove 3 screws holding door handle and loosen clips and remove door panel" or something similar. Well the screws were too rusty to use a screwdriver, tried to drill and use an easy out.....ended up drilling the heads off. Going to be a long journey if every fastener requires this kind of effort😏

 One door panel off and next task is to remove this door.....this looks fun too😬 See pic ....

Just use a hacksaw between the door and the body, top and bottom.  Much easier to deal with when the door is off,

A sawsall is your friend if you have one. I used a hacksaw blade holder (see the attached picture).

That's what I used as well.  The blade is not fully supported so set it up so the teeth are cutting when you pull.  Ease up when pushing back.
