--- Quote from: Phil9886 on May 21, 2020, 08:09:06 PM ---Thanks everyone for the help. What a great forum! I'm at the end of a restoration that's taken 10 years with most parts bought brand new from CMSNL and David Silver Spares. I'm at the point of putting the engine in the frame so will be asking advice on how best to do that soon. How do you get something that heavy in the frame without damaging it? ! Thanks again. Phil

Phil - the ‘frame over the engine’ method is the safest, most controllable I’ve found.
The key is to get the engine on its side, completely vertical, and lower the frame over the engine so the engine is entering the RIGHT side of the frame.
Ideally it’s a 2-person job - but can be done on your own...

This is how I got my engine out....nd how it will go back in. I am making a wooden 'support' with a few correctly sized blocks on a piece of 18mm ply in the right places to support the engine. Teh I will glue on some old carpet.
I want it solid...and I don't want the weight ending up on the points cover.
Skoti:
If your bike's already built up in rolling chassis form here's how you can refit the motor single handedly and without damage to the frame etc.
You need a smooth concrete garage floor so the bike can be pushed side ways towards the motor.

Refitting the motor photos are near the end, apologies for linking the full photo album.

That's really helpful. The bike is a rolling chassis now so the last method will probably be the one I go for. Thanks again. Kind regards. Phil
