Today I acquired...........

[My Old Landy]

After searching for a s/h 8" (200mm) three jaw with both sets I decided to go for new (I know, not my usual stance!). This Sandu was £75 delivered and I ordered it Tuesday so excellent service
I just need to make a back plate with 6tpi flat thread for the Raglan.

It was actually yesterday but I fitted as per the instructions and they fouled the parking brake lever so today I refitted them without the additional bar end weight extensions and they actually fit better

They are MachineArtMoto ADVance guards.
They can be configured in three ways and it just takes seconds to change.

For warm weather you remove the insert and sliding extension.

For a bit colder you fit the insert.

For cold weather you slide up the extension.

Fitted to the bike.

Not replaced that much, just added extras

 

[Hood]

I am actually waiting on something else, due in today but I reckon with the way the post is at the moment it will probably be next year

 

[MCKDAVID]

that's why you should have bought a suzuki, wouldn't have needed all the extras.... ahahahahaha

Aye I know, spanners would be all that was required

I believe there is a knack to it, I have 2 Matchless G80 cranks and a friend has a BSA C15 needing done, so I will get some practice at the measured blow with a lead mallet.

Before you take the crank apart scribe a line with a set square across the outside faces of the two flywheels to make it a bit easier to line them up .

I'm waiting for ALL the extras to be fitted and then nick it.

You’ll not be able to shift it with all the extra weight

That's the adventure , trying to pick it up on a slippery surface in the dark when it's scottishing down.

And the broken legs

I have taken a leaf from @Screwdriver 's book and had a tidy up and acquired a clean bench and floor space

Router template for box/dovetail joints. Fingers and gaps are 1/2" wide, so I need to work out what cutters to use and do a few tests.

I acquired a nice chunk of floor space the other day, finally sold that poxy Kemppi transformer I bought five years ago and never used once. Now I'll have to find something to fill the space.

Some time ago I bought this because it was cheap.
Downside these US guys are using a nasty 7/8-14LH.
Waiting for my friend who is able to make an adapter for that.

I saw the words 'Swedish' and 'neoprene' and was hoping for a blond wearing a wetsuit.......................................

I was introduced to one the other day but he wasn't my type. Before anyone asks that's privileged information.

 

[redlig]

I'll live in hope, one day perhaps...................

Don't leave it too long or you're be past your " use by" date.

PARKING BRAKE LEVER. What next?

Well when you don't have a gear lever you may occasionally need that
