Mike_Berkshire:
Air box etc now fitted thanks for the info!

Bryanj:
How many undamaged complete knockles you got left?

Mike_Berkshire:
Im good thanks Bryan. I did have an assistant however which was very helpful. I did have to remove the battery box and clutch cable to make room and fitted the two outer unions once the plenum had been wrestled into place. Very fiddly though!

Bryanj:
Makes you think the line starts with the carbs on a piece of string, bit like the land rover steering box

Mike_Berkshire:
And now its time for the electrics. Its going to take me a while to clean up and buzz through the old loom. Having stripped out the burnt out earth wiring/connectors I am left with a mostly 'naked' loom. Most of the outer wrap was carefully cut away and the wiring is now held together with cable ties. I cant make up my mind whether to fit the loom as-is to test it and run the bike and then, once all good, remove and re-wrap or to replace the burnt out wires, replace damaged connectors, re-wrap and then fit. Im just worried that if I do that I will find I need to open it up again - any thoughts?

Seeing that the earth wire from the rectifier through to the ring terminal at the coils had burnt out I want to be sure the earthing is sound. The engine mounting bracket where the battery earth terminal is fitted is not painted and I am assuming I should also ensure that the engine casting lug that is behind it is paint-free (its not at the moment). What other precautions should I take to ensure good earth pathways?

Thanks, Mike
