Looks good and coming along nicely though.
All that time spent will seem very worthwhile when you get out to ride it I think. It's great to see these stories of this era bike coming back into use.
Very good thread.

Had another couple of hours on the build tonight. Tonight’s job was fitting and setting new points and condensers (I may go for electronic ignition if they prove to be troublesome.....but will give them a try first). The original points didn’t look too bad but I bought some new ones anyway. So after setting the gap i got out the multimeter so that I could set the timing with the buzzer.... well bugger me I couldn’t get any continuity from the new points, as if they weren’t closing properly. I had to take them back off and still couldn’t get any continuity across the anvils. Turned out they had some kind of protective lacquer or something on the faces.. I had to rub it off with fine wet n dry, don’t ever remember having to do that before. Anyway they are on now and it wont be long before I’m ready to try starting her up :o

Old mechanics trick was to drop the new points into a small tin of petrol while you pulled the old ones out.. Then dried them off and installed them. The petrol dissolved the coating and never had any troubles.
No one does it these days as it has been so long since anyone changed points on a car etc.. I still have a dwell meter around somewhere as well as my home made test lamp for Static timing setting.. Ahhh the good old days :)

Hi Rob, very nice job you are doing considering it was only going to be a "tidy up" and not a full resto'. Could you tell me what the new exhaust system is as i need to change my shot 4 into 2 system on my imported K1.
