Anyone with a unbent 400 gear lever, need some pics

<< < (3/3)

Oddjob:
Did you remove the oil gallery bungs and look down the oil gallery Roo?

Laverdaroo:
Yup all of that, anything that coul;d be opened up and cleaned through was done with a fine tooth comb and pretty confident its a s clean as a whistle. Nick did snap and arm off the clutch holder cover plage putting it back on so he's in the market for one of those this week.......eek!

Oddjob:
I may have 90% finished the gear lever mod.

The end part where the rubber mounts isn't finished yet, needs some tidying up and I think it's not quite in the right position yet, it's close enough for the moment but I think it needs to angled down a little more.

Not chromed yet, just sanded and even that's not done completely. It's only on it's 2nd of 6 sandings, so it will get better each time. Going to pick up my chroming parts on Tuesday so I may drop this off at the same time if it's ready.

Just assembled it and there is zero movement in any direction, the rose joints are really nice and snug and they are in the same place and alignment as the originals.

As for the 1300 lever, it's very close. The bush point however is bigger but I think the best way to solve this would be to cut off the pivot point off the footrest and flatten that out, drill a 5mm hole and tap to 6mm as that's how the 1300 is fixed, which is better as if the bush wears it's replaceable. The part where the rubber fits is the same distance from the bush housing, the gearshaft part is slightly different but may not be a problem, spline holes are the same. It's doable except for maybe one thing. The 1300 lever isn't arched like the 400, in fact it hangs down, whether it would foul the kick stand is the problem. I don't think so but who knows until it's tested.

Here's the result, up to now of course. Sorry not the best pics.

Oddjob:
Just noticed I fitted the gearshaft end upside down. There are no alignment dots anymore so that why it fooled me, not a problem, easy to change it over.

Which was does the pinch bolt fit, head up or head down?

smoothoperator:
Head down.
