Class act Johnny, well done that man.
The sound of it reminds me of an Alan Millyard video where you can hear the gentle ticking of a clock in the background, very calming and no rush to do anything. Your engine sounds similar, maybe have it running in the background when working on your bikes (with the garage door open if course!).

End float on crankshaft is approx 6 thou.
I did not check crank for run out as wear on shells was minimal.

Nice work Johnny, they sound so calm running, like a little mechanical heartbeat.
Testament too, to how well the design and materials originally made them so durable.

Great to see and hear it running again Johnny - how many years dormant? Will that be yet another of your exhibits at this year's shows? A nice board with all that Orkney history alongside would be very welcome - at Dounby Show too.

Tip. Never state that the part you are buying/ sending is a Fuel/ Petrol Tank !
Just note it as 'Motorcycle Parts'.....I have sold/ sent a few Tanks over the years and never had any problem when using that description - which is the truth anyway.
Of course the Tanks I have sold/ shipped have not held any Petrol for years and have been well 'aired' so they are basically just lumps of steel plate so there is no risk.

You don't use the felt with the bronze bushes, just the end cap.
Thanks Julie 👍

Old bushes knocked out today. They were as Julie described: a sort of Bakelite material, definitely not metal. I concocted a tool to knock them out made of a length of M10 studding. Worked a treat. When it comes time to put the arm back in the frame I’m probably going to need some help. Looking at the parts diagram I don’t recall there being that many spacers and washers etc when I took it apart. Everything that came off was bagged up however,
.
On yours Mike, referring to the fiché picture, you only fit the new bronze bushes and the end cap.

I managed to do a workaround for today's pics. I emailed them to myself and had the choice of keeping original size or reducing when attaching. Picked reduce, then saved them to photos and they were about 1Mb, down from 4.1.
Apologies to Steve, perhaps best not to increase permitted size - the 'slack' might be needed for something else.
