Sadly Leon was absent again on Friday so he is now a final written warning, so instead of twiddling my thumbs the rims and spokes arrived so I was able to spend Friday assembling those, I have a fixture which holds the rim while I true it up, the front wheel fitted without issues but the rear wheel spindle was too large so I set it up on the bike and trued it in situ, so both wheels trued up and ready for tyres, please see photos.
Saturday arrived and so did Leon, first job was to load the van with some bikes as we had entered three bikes in the Mid Wales Classic Bike Show at Pant-y-Dwr on the Sunday (yesterday) bit of a squeeze to get them in but all securely in place.
Rest of the day was spent assembling the timing side which went well, mag and dynamo fitted and everything timed, tappets done and we also assembled the primary side only issue there was the clutch pushrod, there is a Triumph four spring clutch fitted and the existing pushrod was badly worn and by searching the forum I found the length it should be was 12", as the existing worn one was 11 3/4 I made a new one but that when fitted was too long so I will reduce the length to suit in the week.
Need to press on with the front forks this coming weekend and get the rest of the black bits done, but things are progressing well under the circumstances.
The bike show on Sunday was very enjoyable, hope to go again next year.
Kind regards to all Colin
