Dave, its only the later ones with a rubber seal, early ones the seal is the felt ring, i think i still used the caps with the bronze bushings though

I've been hanging around 400/4’s for too long Bryan, I thought looking at the parts diagram the end caps were the same as those on a 400. Every day is a school day on the forum👍

Managed to cut the grass first thing, so felt that I had earned a ride out.  Passing a friend's place about a mile away, he was just wheeling his CRF Rally out, so with nowhere in mind we set off together and went out around the north of the Mainland (of Orkney) via Costa and Evie, into Finstown and on a whim (thought you said it was a 550?) headed for the Barrier View cafe just by the first Churchill barrier.  Suitably fed and watered, Les led us out via the Airport, back through town and then had a gentle pootle back home.  Really enjoyable impromptu ride of just under 60 miles.

Not sure Ian must have changed with a software update, so annoying.

Hi Johnny,
That was the iphone today, but that synced with the ipad which is where I started to put the post earlier - easier than the small phone keyboard.  Still don't know why the system doesn't have a resize facility now,

Sad times Julie, but you are left with a manageable number of bikes!

Yes Johnny, 6 is a an ideal number. We had 16, possibly 17 at one stage, either our own riders, others fully restored by Graham ready for sale and others in the process of being restored by Graham, it was standing room only in places 🤣🤣🤣.
