Hi,
I know this isn't a selling site but having been a member for a quite a few years while trying to build a 400/4, I thought I would put my unfinished attempt of a rebuild on the site to make sure it potentially goes to a true enthusiast. I have been on and off trying to rebuild but now reached the stage and age where I have to admit defeat.
Frame is powder coated and bottom half fitted I have fitted original wheels which are not in great nick. Seat cover is new and fitted to a plastic base.
I have a new rear mudguard.
Everything else I have is original stuff from the strip down.
Don't know what it is worth, just thought it would appeal to someone who wants a challenge.

Thanks everyone, all good advice just not looking forward to doing the deed  My barrels look a bit of a mess, any ideas on the best way to clean them up or should they be sprayed with the paint i've done the crankcases in. Also one of the fins is missing a bit, is that aluminium filler ok to build it up. Thanks Dek

Hi everyone, Just got to the stage of fitting pistons into the bores of my 400/4. Been rebuilding it for a few years so thought I ought to get a move on !  New rings fitted so a bit worried about possibility of breaking them. Any tips on fitting, should I use clamps that fit round piston and compress rings or just try and use hands to compress them? Advice much appreciated.

Thanks Julie that's good news! That's how I had it the first time I assembled it, but after checking the exploded diagram I changed it because it looks like it's on the other side. That put the alignment out. All looks good now. Onwards and upwards ! Thanks again for taking the time out to help. By the way name is Dek ( Derek) the Andeks is combination of Ann ( my wife) and me Dek. Just thought I'd say.

Thanks for the photos Julie. On the nearside top photo is there a removable spacer on the inside of the fixed spacer ?

Thanks Julie for the quick reply. I have checked the exploded view and have put the top, rear spacer where it shows, but bottom, rear doesn't line up.
Photo would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, Trying to refit 400/4 engine in frame and struggling to remember where engine bolt spacers go, I know I should have noted before stripdown but its been a while now. put the top rear bolt and spacer on in the order what I thought but bottom rear doesn't line up with the gap. Can't find a decent picture of the engine in frame. Any help much appreciated.

Hi All,
Could anyone please point me in the direction of a set of oil pump 'o' rings please.
I have bought a new set of seals but doesn't include new seals for fitting the pump.
thanks
Dek

On further inspection I've noticed there is no pivot insert in the horseshoe so maybe it's been done to take up the slack with the blade just dropping in the empty cavity to save a strip down !
