Randy,
The work is great! I'm a car guy, yet learn from you bike guys.
The next time you have the plates off the top between the frame tubes will you take a shot showing the stuff there.
I like the pump tube.
My only thought is if the tube entries are not sealed water from the front wheel will enter. You may need to flush with clean water to wash the salt out. And condensation may form inside.
Looking forward to hearing how it runs!
