The rebirth of Lazarus
Oddjob:
I use these Mick.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313583380550?var=612402648482 M5 10mm.
The end is still too big to fit into the slot on the shaft so I fit it into a drill and spin it up whilst holding a file against the end, as they are brass they file down quite easily. I keep checking to see when it fits inside the slot.

slow but steady progress, carbs are all looking good, I used a 3mm screw with the end filed down as per kens advice and all fitted with rubbers etc all standard although ordered a couple of new clamps to be fitted later. Seat is now on, it is an original in very good condition that I got from ebay, a guy was selling it with some carbs and a front mudguard so I bid him for all three together and he accepted my price, I reckon if he left the auction running he would have made more. The mudguard is an original 1970s one with holes for a front number plate, in good nick apart from some corrosion under a stay but not visible. I did re-chrome the seat strap fittings as I didnt like the repro ones I had before, although I did buy a set to get some new screws and they look a better shape now. Also needed a new plunger and a seat lock, both genuine items. will put some pics up from my phone.

Looking back to the start you must be chuffed to bits with the build. 👍👍👍
