seat bodge
« on: 28.07. 2023 13:27 »
Well following on the bolts were still loose and i wanted something to hold 'em till I could afford a more permanent fix. end result was a generous amount of Araldite epoxy . I sawed the ends of the bolts and used wing nuts to tighten and spring washers to secure .after leaving for a day to cure I fitted the seat and thought maybe a month or 2 .I pleased to say 11 yrs later and still going strong and haven't even lost a wingnut .

Bugga Musky ,didn't think to do that ,was just happy to be able to lay hands on the bike and achieve something ,however,I will do .Next I've got to clean that belt drive and nip the timing case up, so that just if the sun shines at all I may turn a wheel on the Beeza again.
