Swing Arm type and shock bushes

(1/3) > >>

Gary 400/4:
Hello fellow sohc owners. Thanks for confirming the cast wheels on my 400/4. I have another conundrum requiring assistance to identify it. It concerns my non standard swing arm, it is a box section braced type. Not unlike a Dresda, however where I see slotted ends for chain adjusters on online pictures if Dresda swing arms. Mine has eccentric cams for chain adjustment. Although in common with a Dresda it slots into the frame no problem, employing taper roller bearings. I am enclosing a photo for every ones perusal.

Also, I need to obtain some new lower rear suspension unit rubber bushes for the swing arm mount eyes and shock absorber. The measurement's : swing arm eye width 16mm swing arm eye internal diameter 22mm . Metal sleeve inside rubber bush length 19mm external diameter 12mm internal 10mm for a 9mm bolt.
I cannot find anything specific for my swing arm being non standard. I do need new rubbers as mine are dissintegrating.
I am having difficulty posting a picture. Will post later if I get requests

Thanks for the link. No mine is different it has bracing underneath the main arms, with a short bracing piece between the bracing spar and arm on both sides. If anyone knows if an Android app I can use to convert a large JPEG file into something smaller and acceptable to the forum. Please let me know. I got fed up of downloading from the Google app store, a file size reducer app, that works without locking out with adverts or demands to upload the image to cloud storage. When one has lots of memory on s memory card to use.

Hi,
     Looks like my JMC braced arm bought and fitted in the mid 80's which I still have, side view without silencer etc. would help identify. It takes standard shocks, but drive chain can foul on bracing if remotely slack, They were available with or without the bracing.
