DS Pattern silencer

<< < (2/2)

Matt_Harrington:
Ah Ha! That would explain it, Mike. As you say, I think I will loosen everything else off and take a steady approach. I have already 'turned' down the graphite seal. (which, BTW, seems to have a core of steel wool or similar) and that bit fits OK now.  Off to find that dictionary.....  ;)

Matt_Harrington:
Loosening off all the joints and headers worked a treat and exhaust is now fitted.  ;D

Out of interest, how far away should the foot brake arm/lever be away from the collector box? Initially it was fouling the exhaust but I slackened it all off again and now have about 5mm.

Soon be ready to fire up the ol' girl and see what else is wrong !!  ???

Nurse Julie:
I will try and find a photo showing the clearance. But, if its too close, your foot may foul on the collector box when braking. Personally, I don't have that problem with my size 4½ feet 😊😊😊😊

Matt_Harrington:
Thanks. When clamping it all down it closed up a little but seems OK - I'll wait until a test run...
Next job - air box removal!!!  ::)
