Just took delivery of my rear sprocket and it isn’t the correct one! I got mixed up in my earlier post, the sprocket that’s arrived today is from Wemoto which I ordered after the eBay episode.

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

It’s out of stock at DS and CMS. I tried two suppliers on eBay, one has no stock despite listing the item. The other reported “stock issues” after I asked for a refund and then a day later promised delivery for next week. The item is now apparently on its way.  I feel a saga coming on….

Might be worth asking Julie I believe she assembles the kits from her stock of Ob rings.
Will do. ;)

Julies kit contains all the O rings for a 400.
I'll remember that for next time, but well, y'know... I'm only after two little ones!  ;)

CB350/400 / A hunt for seals
« Last post by Athame57 on Today at 03:37:40 PM »
I'm on a hunt for some seals, and I don't mean with a club either!  ;D When I had my recent engine rebuild done, they mechanic told me that the large seal for the oil pump wasn't in the seal kit I had supplied. I got that part from DSS no problem but it turns out there are some very small seals that also ought to be changed (why not say before?) as I've still got some leaking I'll endeavour to get them.
They are parts 285 and the twice numbered (?) 286/7 0n the CMSL diagram I've posted here. https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb400f-england_model14639/partslist/E01-3.html  .
The seals numbered 285 (part # 91302044013) on the picture I can get from DSS as they are in stock, but 286/7 isn't in the associated parts list on the CMSL page I just linked, so I can't pull up the proper part number/s to put into the DSS search box, so I'm stuck. Can anyone help?

I watched the short video - I ended up confused as Jennifer refers to Patrick being killed wheras the text says it was Kieron that died?

Marvellous idea to make that wriggly tin chute. 10/10.

I remember watching the Concrete being pumped up to make all the six floors on the new building next to ours in Docklands in the 90's...twas like a military operation with Cement Mixers coming and going all day.......then later seeing the huge Glass windows being manoeuvred into place using small cranes inside the building with suckers on the 4 arms......again it went like clockwork......but the best was a bloke cutting through massive foam blocks at an angle to make the ramps which concrete was then poured onto to finish the pedestrian steps down to 'The Six Public Clocks'.

Thinking back to those days also reminded me that during the construction that building, a fine young man lost his life when he fell 40 feet after he stepped on a flimsy sheet of plywood covering an open shaft. His young Widow later made a heartfelt video about the tragedy, and we showed it to many of our London Underground Employees and our Contractors. We had many tearful sessions as the enormity of a simple f*ck up unravelled to take a young man's life hit home. I'll make no apologies for this as it's a story worth telling again.....because it was a death that should never have happened, and to show that the courage and fortitude of his Wife, Jennifer Deeney is something that's a shining example to us all.   https://www.lattitudesafety.co.uk/programmes/it-will-never-happen-to-me/

It's clearly not my day today.

Well, came to fit the oil seal in the retainer and it does not want to fit - it clearly is the right size as it looks as it will fit the old retainer just fine when I tentatively part fitted it!
I dont want to risk damaging the seal trying to make it fit so I am sending the retainer back to DS for replacement.

That's put me back a few days now - I am going to return the DS retainer ring part in the hope that a replacement one is from the new production batch.
