Progress update

bottom end's built and ready to put back, been a while but got other things to do...

will try to get time tomorrow and get the NEW CRANK OIL SEAL in , flywheel clutch & gearbox.

options?
1. std clutch thats been in all the engines so far
2. put in the a.p. paddle clutch and h/d pressure plate

never driven a paddle clutch before? are they ok

[RS2kSX]

not long now

[grum]

clutch - go for the inbetween option - a nice uprated AP jobby £275 ish all in, as recommended on here by people whose cars last more than a season !!!!!!!!

[RS2kSX]

Hi grum,
already got the A/P paddle & H/D pressure plate, just not sure about fitting it to a std engine?

Are they much heavier, do they snatch?

Didn't notice difference when I fitted one in my Mk1 maybe a touch heavier on the foot but drove great.

new quick rack, engine should be in by tomorrow evening (if she lets me out to play)

[RS2kSX]

Back on her wheels again, feels good



Bike carbs fitted ok but i've still got to sort out the throttle cable (Kieran, Help)

quick rack fitted and it's got good oil pressure (Thanks Custom)

Looking good but would look even better with some New Twin Webers.
