Its been a while and progress has been slow.
The bore wear and damage did result in a first os rebore to +20 and I've sourced NOS pistons.
The crank had some ovality and was marginal so it too has gone 1st undersize. A shame, but I do expect to use it not put it in a museum.
Bush replaced, crank balanced, sludge trap cleaned, magneto rebuilt locally by an electrical Engineer (who has got into doing mags after being very disappointed by NZ wide lack of expertise -I can supply details if required).
Had some minor frame repair done to the sidestand area and one of the battery box mounts and touched up worst of swing arm surface rust and on frame.
I'm going to take a minor break from racing to move this forward although its still competing with several "other" projects.
I bought some silencers off Feked and they are not the same as the originals
, but similarish and will do as a start, a wee bit annoyed.
I have been pottering with getting the frame ready to accept reassembly of ancilliaries but really need to invest in reassembling the bottom end of the engine.
Thought I was getting ruthless in culling the shed, have flogged off my 84 BMW (too modern and the band doesnt play) and need to move on my '72 rocket three
, but cough cough do seem to have added an OIF lightning and a winged wheel to the garage
I'll post some pics soon
