Impressive! I need at least my rear wheel rebuilt with new spokes and rim but I don’t know if I can work up the courage to do it myself; it would be a first for me.

It's really not that hard Mike once you've watched a few videos, the critical bit is getting CWC to send you the correct spokes, they've got mine wrong twice out of two builds. Quite enjoyable really.

Onward we go. Could have done this with the engine in frame but glad I removed from frame this afternoon. Definitely worthy of a top end rebuild!

I've seen worse NJ's 400 strip down springs to mind - it's amazing it ran as it was when the pistons were out.
Looks like number 1 cylinder was a tad leaner than the others - but not massively.
