Only reason i can think of it not to work is if the plastic was"de natured" by uv light(cant think of another waybto say that)

Good point that Bryan ...on late 60's early 70s panels the plastic goes really brittle.

Correct Bryan, this is a drum brake USA version. I’m hoping to get a chance to get back to it soon but the MIL is round this morning and although to me that seems like the absolute best time to lose myself in the shed, Mrs C isn’t of the same opinion!

Is this not a drum braked 360 or am i remembering wrong(getting more common!) If so it would be a us import and probably have the switch etc.
Easy to tell, look if there is a hole in the flat part close to where the lever pivots, if it is a drum there will be similar on brake side

Ash,

Floplast do an MEK pot with brush to fit their plastic pipe stuff together. Get it B&Q I used some spare I had recently to repair a plastic door hook.  Keep the top on tight...it evaporates really quickly.

Clutch lever switch came with a diode as well in the CB360T, which has only arrived here from imports.

The UK had the 360G version, which does not have a mount point for the clutch switch.  It does have the spare wires though and no diode.

I bought a clutch switch when I found the wires in my bike and I had a diode from a spare CB550 harness, but when I found there was no hole for the switch and checked the diagrams....No clutch switch....so your spare wires are just that...

Relax,

Jerry

All except the swing arm bushes need to come off, the bushes may or may not be damaged by the heat of stove enameling but they are a swine to push out and in

I had a "knack" for removing without damage Ash, it was nearly a daily thing in the workshop

We were one of those dealers that removed them at pdi as you could just about guarantee a misfire when the british liquid sunshire arrived

The dealer who supplied mine literally ripped them off Bryan and broke the plastic at the end in the process. I took mine apart recently and with a bit of practice you can remove the covers without de-crimping and re-assemble and no damage to the plastic part.

Someone on the CB250RS Facebook closed group suggested I try ABS slurry to fix cracks and broken mounting lugs on plastic side panels etc.
I thought back to the 90's, when I couldn't buy the correct angle guttering joints for my 1030's house and some old sage where I was working at the time (who had an immaculate BSA Gold Flash Combo) cut a section out of one to reduce the angle and bonded it back together at my required  angle with a paste made up out of the waste material dissolved in MEK. They bonded beautifully and are still on my old house when I went past earlier this year.

Has anyone tried this? I guess the panel materials will have changed over the years. I think the 250RS panels are ABS but I seem to remember my 750K0 panels and airbox were made from some form of styrene. But I guess the theory is the same... dissolve a piece of the same material in a suitable solvent and use that to repair the panel.

This what the FB guy said: Quote :  "Google abs slurry,,, and make some .... glue it on with it ,then build it up round the crack ( takes a day or two to fully cure) permanent fix ... I  glued 2 halves of a panel together with it .... you could bend it as much as the parent material , it doesn't glue, it bonds. I have tried epoxy, fibreglass glues, nothing does it like abs slurry"
