Featured 1966 T120 Restoration

Lol, grandchildren are young still n batter there toys playing with them as they should , but they do understand grandad is a bit more fussy with his toys lol.

 

Another step forward with fitting the painted frame together and getting the bottom end back in and on the bench ready for final assembly.

 

New oil pump fitted along with new seals n gasket and found a right hand thread screw for the rev drive so i could fit that as well and finish off the fitting of the new clutch n primary chain.

 

Seat pan painted and posted off to R K Leighton for the correct cover to made n fitted.

 

One exhaust guide was cracked and my mate sold his valve cutting machine so Dave Waddy is doing the work for me as it needed an oversize guide as well.

 

Sorting out some nice shiny parts for the build today

 

Cyl head back and all done along with cutting seats n valves

 

A bit more progres today, fitted the newly cut valves with new springs to the cyl head and timed the new electronic ignition trigger unit so i can fit all the outer covers next ready to bolt the head on and engine is finished then.

 

I will address this straight away, sadly i have been let down with a few key items beyond my control and i will be making a concerted effort with updates as soon as i have resolved the issues

 

One good bit of news the seat pan i refurbed n painted is back from Andrew at R K Leighton recovered in the correct material unlike all the repro covers available online and it's a beauty .

 

They do a fantastic job things will speed up in the next few weeks as the last bits of the puzzle will arrive.

 

Still have some paint to do but hope to do this next week.

 

On the later bikes the return springs are mostly in cadmium, not sure of the years yet but on early bikes they are black so i had these plated black for that original look

 

I managed to find the correct dry element do not oil decal for the unifilter at last

 

Although in a queue its a further projects one, it's a MB10 rear Dunlop that i picked up at an auto jumble Hopefully all chrome parts will be back from the platers soon so i can post pics
