Hi,
I am not sure if my swinging arm is worn on the right hand side (offside in the UK) where the long wheel spindle bolts into the hub. If it is worn, then it seems to have worn very evenly and looks like it was manufactured that way.
The second shoulder of the spindle is 20mm (first shoulder into the hub, second shoulder to fit the spacer, third shoulder spacing for the chain tensioner/alignment bolt), whereas the slot in the swinging arm is more like 25mm. This doesn't seem correct to me, even if the spacer between brake plate and the inside of swinging arm trues it up to an extent.
If I do need to take it back up to around 20mm, my guess would be that I need to weld up the slot and dress it back to 20mm ish. The altenative would be to build up the spindle and make a washer to fit (the washer being on the outside of the swinging arm).
Your thoughts would be most welcome.
Regards
Pat
ps wish I had spotted this before as the paint work isn't too bad!
