Hello.
Working with my motocycle is still in progress, I've not sending messages from few weeks but it doesn't mean that I'm lazy:)
From the last time:
I've found jampot's, toolbox and oiltank
I've gathered all must-have taps & dies - It comes from india
I'm thinking that the best first step in restoration is fitting all things together.
Using taps and dies i've rescued vast majority of original studs and bolts - now only two studs mounting engine to frame are metric, rest are BSC/BSF, I had missed only few nuts:
Using taps I've converted few M8 nuts to 5/16 26TPI, using heads of useless rusted bolts i've made ⅜ nuts 26TPI. Also I've made copy of anchor fixing bolt and is now fitted.
Meanwhile I'm preaparing front fork to regeneration. One of sliders had little loss near top, now this loss is filled with aluminium, next time thread will be repaired on lathe. Unfortunately second slider is not perfect also (i've overlooked it last time) - have little crack near hole for stud, now it is ready to be weld.
I've noticed that rear footrests are located at different levels - something must be bended:
With the help of propane-butane burner I want to repair it but i need to know distance between surfaces of this tubes (red line) - please help. Also photo of each side of motorcycle could be useful (photo from the same distance and similar position perpendicularly to long axis of motocycle) --//edit, not actual, I've found good photo in internet, only distance is now needed:).
Toolboxes.
In spares catalogue (
http://archives.jampot.dk/book/Spares_l ... s_List.pdf page 41 No 000639) there are four spacers 11/64' - where should they be mounted?
here:
or here (there is a wide gap)?
or nowhere?
This washers should be made of rubber or iron?
I also wondering how magneto protector (front plate) should be fixed to magneto's basis - from the top or from down, this way is correct?
I've found on my frame few modifications, please confirm that the are unoriginal, the will be cut next time:)
and the worst thing (DIY mounting for rototiller??)
Mudguard bolts.
In my box with rusty things i've found strange bolts with short collar below the head (head 13,3mm, collar 3x11mm, rest 5/16' x 26TPI), I'm almost sure that they should be here:
Together four identical bolts, could you confirm? How they should be galvanizing - chrome or zinc?
This is my battery carrier:
part in red circle is (probably) modification, how should looks original battery carrier?
