Y'know, once upon a time, there was a bloke who had a good memory but it was very short. Due to internal repairs needed, the bike has not even been looked at since last November. Unfortunately, DSS does not sell the required bits so it's in the hands of our beloved NHS! Dear Nurse Julie, (be gentle with me when the time arrives!), your comments re. rear wheel fittings re-activated the grey matter, and lo and behold, yes, I did have to obtain a replacement rear spindle, and it is the type requiring the use of a tommy-bar. Because of the size of the chrome end it could not be fitted in from the RH side, but as the spindle is pushed through from t'other end you have the castellated nut in position waiting to meet it and then use this to wind the spindle all the way through. I still have enough clearance between OE silencer and nut to be able to use a decent size ring spanner. The operation needing the gentle touch is inserting and folding over the split pin. I didn't word my previous message very well, when I said I had fixed footrest, I meant that they were frame fixtures and not knee benders! Having looked at some of my earlier photos, much to my amazement I see that my swinging arm fork ends have actually got slots! Notta Lotta people know that. I will endeavour to try and upload a couple of pics, but it keeps telling me they are over the limit. If its got 18" wheels and metric nuts I'm ok, but computers - NAH!

Oh Yeh, just one more thing, when purchasing a hydraulic bike lift, temper one's enthusiasm and measure the length of the platform first!!!!! As you can see, rear wheel fitting gets very interesting, hence the need for our beloved NHS!

Yours is an interesting bike Michael, being an early one by registration but with the frame mounted foot pegs. I know there was a time when the early ones which normally had the swing arm mounted pegs, had the later frame mounted ones but I cant remember where exactly in the production that was (I also have mushy brain syndrome).
Edit....had to look it up 🙄🙄🙄 1976 model year went to frame mounted foot pegs but was still in the early colours, ie Light Ruby Red and Varnish blue. Also had a locking fuel cap fitted from 76. So still an F model....not the F1 model.
