400 Frame Enquiries
Lynx:
Hi Drew,
Aren't there 2 hols for the indicator brackets? One for the mounting bolt and one for an alignment stub.
Drew400:
Hi Lynx,
There are no alignment stubs on my brackets. However, they fit fine and don't slide around thanks to their [ profile design that loops over/under the frame.
Is my bike odd in that respect?
Ta,
D.
Lynx:
I'll check mine this evening.
Chris400F:
Definitely only one hole each side on my frame. Can't check the indicator mounts as the rear indicators on my bike were on straight stalks.
The holes look a bit big for the mounts trigger suggested, as I recall the mounting screw size for those was only something like M5.
Could have been holes for a rack support. If you still have it were there corresponding holes in the rear mudguard, otherwise the holes would be 'blind'.
Oh, and did you win that fuse box lid?
Chris
Drew400:
Hi Chris,
The parts book suggests rubber washers with metal inserts. Found some in my parts bin and hey presto, they look and work fine (to my non-expert eyes and for my rather mongrel bike).
Both of the holes are threaded so that adds to the rack theory. However, I removed some rubbish looking generic brackets so I guess my rack was made for a range of bikes rather than dedicated to 400/4s.... although that still doesn't explain the holes.
Maybe they were a weight saving technique, ha ha... although why thread them?
The fuse box cover went for £13.75 so I missed out. Seemed a bit steep to me for something hidden by the side panel (on a mongrel bike). I may fashion something myself or may not bother.... in the meantime it's another weight saving device!
Cheers,
D.
