Thanks for that I didn't know. Still dealing mentally with the bent rear foot peg bracket!

Its the thing you discover just before you throw something at the wall in frustation!!

As you can imagine I'm well annoyed I didn't spot it beforehand - the colour blue makes it obvious!

Today I have dropped of my upper crankcase to have the cam chain tensioner repair/upgrade fitted of the type shown below that I read about here. The local place I was going to use were not happy about tackling it as its at an angle not horizontal or vertical so they recommended a nearby firm called "Croft Engineering" that I am using. I was encouraged when I visited as there was a customer there that was having a pair of engine blocks made for an old 2 cylinder Velocette
This is my Stage 1 inside clean of the lower crank case using initially some engine degreaser, followed by petrol done outside when it was warmer last week. The majority of the paint has been removed just need to fettle it up a bit where the stripper / and or me has missed it.
