Thanks Phil but I've had to split the crankcase halves this morning as the lateral travel on the mainshaft is worrying me (see my other post) all was correctly assembled but I need to address the movement issue that I have now measured as 1.016 mm of what is effectively end float between the bearings.

Ah well, it's piece of mind - have done similar myself in the last few years - it's an age thing!

Hang in there Ted. All the effort will be worth it in the end. Sorry I can’t offer any help or guidance on the end float issue.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Still in thinking mode about the gearbox end float so fastening the crankcase halves up again is in pause mode.

I have been doing some frame work again.

Front forks in position & fitted front brake caliper & DS mudguard. The mudguard went in okay will not really know if it's skewiff until I fit the front wheel.
As the steering is tilted to one side and the frame is not completely level on the bike stand base any out of kilter looks are hopefully just the camera angles

Plus rear forks & stand fitted last week with nice Brass bearings from NJ.
