Lets build a SOHC for less than a grand

Thanks for that. I’ll get a new spring and longer adjusting screw on order.
Are these just BZP?

BZP machine screw and a stainless spring ;)

I found the mounting lugs on the RH leg needed "finishing".
several assemblies ,and checking ,them filing to get the caliper parallel,and ensure the arm will swivel freely.
the better the alignment,the less spongy the brake will be untill it full beds in .

Cheers John ;) that is what my findings are. Take a some off the fork leg mounts or take some off the pivot arm mounting points.

Did a quick re bore to 0.50 and painted the top end. To prepare pistons, make sure there are on little burrs that have been missed and if any found just take a very fine file to remove them.
Rebore on these pistons which are silicon alloy, and the piston to bore clearance 0.0250mm with a fine cross hatch. pistons matched to the bores.
Fit the CW15 circlip/ring clip. Piston 1&2 on the right side, 3&4 on the left. A smear of grease on the gudgeon pin and make sure it moves freely in the piston. Top ring usually has a chrome finish to the edge and numbers or letters face up. Second ring is usually black and numbers or letters face up. The best oil rings come in three parts and have no markings.
A smear of grease on the small end of the con rods and ready to fit to the rods. Arrow or triangles face the front, second circlip in
Prepare the bores with a smear of Graphogen on the bores, rubber grease on the outsides makes fitting the silicone 0'rings much easier.
