I think the seal in question comes with the piston and if I remember correctly ZP do list both a pattern one and an OEM option which is quite expensive. I’ve used parts from ZP and Wemoto and I’ve never had any problems but if you feel the need to purchase OEM it comes at a cost and ZP can hopefully...

Top job, well done and with no great cost outlay!

Did you end up retaining the original loom or did you change it? Either way, pleased you got it dome!

I participate in a number of different forums for the different bikes I own and I find this one to be one of the best for help and advice. Having never purchased the pattern gasket sets in question, I for one am unable to comment on the quality. Maybe you should purchase the gaskets and form your ow...

It’s a looker for sure! Well done!

Welcome onboard! Nice bikes and I agree with the guys, don’t mess with the A2, it’s too nice.

Really nice bike!

I think you have a somewhat larger problem than you anticipate as in my experience it’s highly unlikely that there will only be one hole and I suggest that there will be other areas of corrosion inside the tank that will be close on breaking through in time. I’m not suggesting a liner as I really do...

Much as I like and often strive for and preserve originality, I think that bike looks superb and that colour really suits it! Well done!

Nice job!

In cases like this I usually get a chunk of blu tac or kids plasticine and stick a chunk over the hole on the seat base and then close the seat, re open and measure the squashed thickness remaining. You can assess the size and shape by looking at the rails that the plasticine blobs made contact with.

It was always going to be a stunning beast and that’s exactly what it is! Top job!

It’s a stunner! Top job!

I’d soak them in oil for sure.

+1 for Arun Locks. Great service.
