Hi Ken, I think the rubbers are original ones as I didn't use DS ones this time. The clutch cable is the wrong one supplied as far too long so probably US style high handle bars. The cable I got from silvers was chap and caused sticking clutch so not keen on getting another. Not sure where to source another.

slow but steady progress, carbs are all looking good, I used a 3mm screw with the end filed down as per kens advice and all fitted with rubbers etc all standard although ordered a couple of new clamps to be fitted later. Seat is now on, it is an original in very good condition that I got from ebay, a guy was selling it with some carbs and a front mudguard so I bid him for all three together and he accepted my price, I reckon if he left the auction running he would have made more. The mudguard is an original 1970s one with holes for a front number plate, in good nick apart from some corrosion under a stay but not visible. I did re-chrome the seat strap fittings as I didnt like the repro ones I had before, although I did buy a set to get some new screws and they look a better shape now. Also needed a new plunger and a seat lock, both genuine items. will put some pics up from my phone.

Carb air screw is a possibility but maybe a bit big.

have been working on the carbs, all ok internally but doing a cosmetic externally. I have removed the operating rod, and is in very good condition unlike most. I need to sort the pin that stops the movement side to side and was thinking a suitable screw but only seems about 2mm. What do you guys use?
