The rebirth of Lazarus
mickwinf:
A little progress with Lazarus, i now have a complete correct airbox thanks to Gary, all cleaned and polished with new air filter and spring. Also have the little rubber seal that fits at the front of filter holder and the tool tray etc. Will need a new gauze for the intake but i think Julie sells them, also if anyone has the little flat spacer washer thingy that goes between the filter box and manifold i need one to be correct. Engine is almost complete, i have just fitted an oil pressure switch but unsure if it needs any thread sealer or is it self sealing?
Bryanj:
Its a taper thread so the theory is no sealant but a turn or two of ptre tape wont hurt

Engine now finished and painted and polished, can go to one side until rebuild time. As a bit of a change i have started to work on the front forks. One lower has been polished up and fitted with new seal and re-united with a re-chromed stanchion but i have a question about the fitment. My forks are the early type with the rod up the middle which screws into the top nut, with a lock nut under. My question is, how should it be adjusted?
Oddjob:
Screw the rod into the top nut until it won't go any further and lock it with the locknut. IIRC.
