didnt think of that presumed the rod would be sided. got to take it out as got oil leaking from between engine and box, presume its the seal on the crank.

Either there or from the front of the gearbox. Both are fairly common.

Fifer...I didnt see a return spring on the reliant when I stripped it,but remembered from my A35 days that there was one to hold the thrust back off the pressure plate. I believe that the a35 manual says there should be 3/8" play at the pedal (in an ideal situation with no worn linkages,which incidaentally the A35's were prone to !!) . I put a return spring from the bottom of the clutch arm(moved to l/h side) to a bracket on the g/box x-member,dead in line with the operating rod to the pedal. I searched my boxes in the garage and found a longish spring that would pull the arm back,but with not a lot of pressure required to pull it,so this also helped the 'soft' clutch operation. I think the spring was from an Angle Poise desk lamp!
Dobber...If you do swop the arm to the left,those roll pins can be a right barsteward to get out mate.

started to wire up the rear lights, got one side done and run out of wire. drilled the frame and fed the wires through using a piece of inner cable that zakboy sent me donkeys ago, thanks again zakboy.

probably have to blank off the number plate lights that shine downward. also because there led will have to put a resistor in to make them flash. the bit between the top, indicator light and bottom brake and tail is just the reflector bit.
could do to get a pair of chrome front indicators with stems if any one has any for sale. bought some trail bike types for a tenner but were angled wrong and plastic

Obviously, the wires should be protected by rubber grommets where they pass through the frame tubes.
That beam pattern's weird!

I think the spring was from an Angle Poise desk lamp! Never thought about using that to get a light action clutch  Originally posted by RODeo ;Dobber...If you do swop the arm to the left,those roll pins can be a right barsteward to get out mate. Dobber , to add to Rodeo,s post ; when you do get them out , after replacing the roll pins , insert a splitpin through the middle . The roll pins have been known to shear and this mod gives them a wee bit strength . . |

after trying to swap the clutch arm on the gearbox to the left i realised i was flogging a dead horse, front and back seals leaking, gasket on rear bit gone and one of the mount threds knackered. called my mate to see if he had a box for sale, as said on other thred he had a recon, never used. swapped him for a gas bottle.
carbon bearing was well goosed so got one from the reliant guru at pennistone.
