will do , they dont look in too bad condition wise , might have to repair the wire sheathing on the stator as quite bad ,cracked bit missing the whole wire is pretty stiff and inflexible tbh but should do its job . I have bought a pazon ignition kit already so hope that is up to the job in hand .

 

Should have some sheathing ,a dab of JB weld at the stator end should seal things up . Cheers thats my Sunday sorted now getting the primary side sorted

 

A few hours on the bike today , I did manage to get the clutch back together and fitted the stator , only a small repair in the end but seems good to go .









Cylinder head built back up having had new seats and guides , fitted and ready for rocker boxes.

 

One thing I am not sure on as think I am on a change over year is the primary oiler tube has mine been chewed by the chain ? where is the right hand end suposed to go . I am thinking I should have a metal capture plate with a pipe outlet ? is this correct and is it important as defo wasn't there before

 

I will have to have another look tomorrow , I know the bit you mean but on mine there is no outlet to connect a pipe to just a blank casting unless I am mistaken . Will report back thanks

 

Yes I see that now ! it was hidden by the chain , I was too comfy sat on my stool and a bit too high to see it , my knees are a bit buggered from a lifetime of building work so too lazy to bend down , there is just a hole no spigot ,so assume the pipe just pushes into it . A new pipe is on order , thanks darkman

 

Blimey I better get a move on sounds like your catching up fast ! ha ha ,
Talking of paint I am now back on the case , priming the rear guard , front has been done already and flatted so both recieving some silver . Hoping to get the tank torch masked and that based too .

 

Just thinking again about my rear guard , thought I was good to go having drilled the mount holes for the rear light and guard itself . But now realised I forgot the hole for wiring ? I am not sure where it goes , also I have a wiring protector left in my new parts box , I assume this fits to the underside of guard but where exactly , it has two mount holes do I drill new holes for this or does it share some.
I have had a look online for pics but cant seem to find a pic of rear guard to confirm . if I can drill holes before final paint that would be idealy, this is my wire protector https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://www.feked.com/images/detailed/62/IMG_8945.jpg&imgrefurl=https://www.feked.com/triumph-rear-mudguard-wiring-protector-unit-500-650cc-models-circa-1969-74-t150-models.html&docid=hUD9A3oK-_n4sM&tbnid=WnIMwfv_8lxeEM:&vet=10ahUKEwjegJv3i9PiAhVDJhoKHQcTBF0QMwhFKAMwAw..i&w=1000&h=750&itg=1&bih=625&biw=1366&q=82-7826 Wiring protector fitting location&ved=0ahUKEwjegJv3i9PiAhVDJhoKHQcTBF0QMwhFKAMwAw&iact=mrc&uact=8


Hey up just had a thought , does does the protector share the single top stud of the rear light for one mount point therefore a hole needs to be drilled just to the left of the stud hole for the wire to emerge and the same for top mount shares one of the u bracket bolt holes with another hole drilled for the wire to allow it to pass under the guard into the protector . ?

 

Ah ha , thanks so the guard when offered up to holes already drilled will give me the location of the two holes I need to drill which will have gomets for the wires , I havent got the gromets so I can take a guess with a 6 or 8mm drill . Thanks again .

 

Going to mask and spray the silver torch shape tomorrow on the tank . I am going to try and lacquer over decal which could well be risky but will have fingers crossed so it doesn’t pickle .
Thinking I might pin stripe on top .

 

Will do .. ,
