Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Parts book shows a self tapper screw.
Is it an important modification ?
Bryanj:
It does say screw but it is a 6mm thread Ted not a self tapper, and yes that oil guide is necessary

Do you have a spare one perchance?
Bryanj:
Possibly somewhere in the mess of my garage but god knows where and finding it is unlikely
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Okay so today my Brother came over to help me lift the crank case unit into the frame.
Engine base unit went in easily, bottom front lower two bolts plus long bolt at rear slotted into place to keep it stable.
I know the upper rear long mounting bolt has a spacer but it looks as though there should be a much shorter spacer between the clutch side of the engine & the rear frame hanger - just a guess there should be a thick washer/spacer something around the 10-12 mm mark?
The parts book & my Haynes Manual show a right hand distance piece (item 9 p/n50357-323-010) it looks very much bigger so was this for earlier frames/engines?
Just need to know what if anything I am looking for as if it is a 10mm spacer I should find it listed in my parts location spreadsheet. I suspect I might even have bought a SS one from Max that was months ago so it will be in an ultra safe place of new parts - contents not listed? ::) ::) ::)
