2) Never seen that tab before.
3) No need to soak parts in oil. Use a assembly compound on the shells and cam. A little oil on the bores.
4) No direction for chains, just staggered.
5) I will send you some more sealing washers for the alternator with the other parts.

Cheers Trigger you're the man! Would you recommend a semi synth oil for initial wear in after a rebuild? I'm sure I've read somewhere about mineral oil being good to use first off as it helps make the seals and gaskets more oil tight.. Cant seem to find where i got this from though!

mineral is good for running in.
This is how I do my hoops, a plate for the seat to bolt to and indicator mounts. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

yeah I'm not done with the frame yet, i wanted to hold off having any plates welded on until I'd made the seat pan and figures out how I'm going to mount the rear mud guard like this:
Im also not going to be running indicators. Do you fab your rear hoops up yourself? Looks decent.

Is all mineral oil the same sort of stuff? I mean i could buy a cheap motorbike specific running in oil like this:

or I could go to home bargains and get something really nasty ;D
