Nice to see you back Mr Ska Man.  Got to have the extensions where they are to clear the tank. I ran them on my previous trike for 4 1/2 years with no problems, but then I did have the heated manifold thingy as well. I guess I'll just try it as it is & if I get a problem, swap back to the old heated doofer, (I've got 3 or 4 spare ones). Saddley Bloke- I'll deliver the calipers & MSVA manual to your works tomorrow afternoon. Have you made my pedal connecting rods yet? The yokes are at the powder-coaters now by the way. |

O.K, to get back to the thread, I was hoping to collect the re-coated yokes & bars from the powder-coaters yesterday, but Loony & I drove over to Newbury in Berkshire to find they won't be ready till next week. Poo.
So we fitted the pedals instead, with help from Dave -Loony Senior, who reemed the brass pedal bushes out until they fitted. Don't ask me why they didn't fit cos they did when we built the thing. Sorted now. Just waiting on Saddlebags to produce the stainless connecting rods to link the pedals to the master cylinders now.
Next problem: I've got problems wiv me head. Got a stripped cylinder head stud. Not the stud itself but the thread in the crankcases it screws into. I've tried securing it with Chemical Metal with no success -it seemed a bit of a bodge anyway, so now we've got to take the tank, carb & head off again & sort it properly. I'm hoping I can find someone who'll sell me one helicoil of the appropriate size. Never fitted one before but Dave has so, he'll be Chief Helicoiler.
A pedal piccie next time I'm in the garage.
