Lets build a SOHC for less than a grand
Spitfire:
It's great watching somebody that knows what they are doing, and as Paul said a great guide for someone doing the same job.
Cheers

Bucket back from the zinc platers so, got the wheels back together and the first problem was the brake shoes. Some folk recon they don't have a problem fitting the 550 ones to the 500 four as, Mr Webley did and I have taken this up with DSS and EBC so many times now and all I get is " well the computer says it is a match".
The late 550 is 20.68mm at the pivot point and the 500 is only 20.00mm, this makes a big difference when trying to get the split pins in and other fitting problems.
I found a good Honda secondhand set, that has enough meat on and will send a old set away to have new shoes fitted.

Wheels on and the bike is stable enough to fit the engine.
As I have already chased all the threads, just a quick squirt of silicone oil on the head studs and put in with my fingers.
Last thread turned with a torque wrench ;)

Graham, do you know if the 450/500 twin shoes are different?
