Thanks Tomb and Ash. Thought you might pop up in with response Ash and as usual very helpful and knowledgeable. This ia all just a thinker at the moment but may well take you up on contacting your mate at some point. "Is e oop north wi us?"Tim
Proper bloke then!
Oop Norf!!! hahaha You're all southerners to me.Another difficult part to find for me was the cam chain tensioner, I ended up making one of my own using the old parts and home made roller following instructions from a lad that races them, forget his name now. Again this was a while ago so may be available now.
Graham Curtis told me to get a sprocket/roller from a Kawasaki Z650 to make a new camchain tensioner (I got one from DK it's a brilliant design with bonded in rubber cushioning ...needs a different size needle roller bearing though).
Interesting read Ash, what a wreck to start from though! I need to read the full story on a laptop, a smart phone is difficult to read!
