Gordons frame kit

(1/4) > >>

archmill:
Having taken about half an hour to get the engine out of the F2 frame ( and all there was was the engine and frame ) together with a lot of cursing, I decided what I needed was a "Gordons Frame Kit" to get the bugger back in when re-building the bike. It also means that I can re-build the engine in stages, rather than one big lump. Had a look at the photo's of the kit and thought shurely you can do it easier. Here's what I came up with.Made 8 top hats out of 25mm bright steel tapped m12 down the centre. 12mm stainless threaded bar, nuts and washers.  Frame cut and inner seam filed off. Top hats fitted. Assembled, ready for welding.

Thats a very good idea i had a bit of bother getting my engine out last week ended up taking my exhaust studs out to clear the frame,not looking forward really to trying to put it in once the frame is all nice and painted it will be getting covering in thick tape,

Where can you get this kit from ??

Regards,Stuart

archmill:
Made it myself Stu, should have the frame back from welding tonight. Will post photo's of the finished article.

I did my own frame mod back in 1982



I had to have a new tank made for it but that was my intention anyway

ianmck:
I have read on the american sohc site that some people have done away with with the frame braces alltogether, its not something i would want to do, but the question is are these frame braces required at all ?. How much stress are they under ?. i am thinking of just using bolted on sleeves, would this be strong enough ?, or is something more substantial required ?
