Thanks for the advice Ken. I was able to remove this damaged tube,

ImageP1000683 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

ImageP1000688 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

ImageP1000689 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

ready for a better one. I'll use a press to reinstall.

While Daisy is away for twelve days, visiting her Father in Portugal and the dog didn't seem to mind that much, it was a good time to carry the chassis indoors for some more paint before starting to put it back together. It's a bit too damp in the tent.

Rear wings are to be bolted on, one side used lugnuts, other, Sean has a good technique for rivnut fitting so did that. will post more another time, need some dinner now :mrgreen:


Good plan, that's how I did mine. There's a lot to be said for being able to easily get in there to clean out all the muck and take good care of the bump stops and light panel.

This frotteur had lost the lug that pushes against the circular spring

ImageP1000732 by Robndaisy, on Flickr

it is a non-adjustable type, the plates have been surface hardened. Had to open it up to fix it.

Fits now but may have to take metal from crosstube to let it in.

I'm looking for torque figures for the Banjo bolt, flexible pipe etc. for this Old Timer, any advice happily received.
Thanks, Rob.

I've lost the rear hubnuts and tabs etc. and the replacement nuts are for the later vehicles so...

ImageP1000809 by Robndaisy, on Flickr
