New Back Wheel & Front end:

A few re-posts to get back up=to=date.

Before, after a five year lay up:

ah right- must pay more attention.

I'll stick all the pics up again when I get home.


Bad luck indeed

Alan,

true mine didn't fit straight off either - I took a smooth flat file to the end of the head to reduce the thickness of the D Holes.

Didn't take too long and a bit of careful preparation with oily rags to catch the filings etc.

If it's any help - I replaced mine with anodised ali ones from Ape via Debben's. They have a lip on both edges and slip over the width of the D (on its side) shaped hole. Sealed with a smear of Hylomar.

They wont suck in or blow out.

Sorry I didn't get back to you, things got busy and I'm out the country for a month now. The #1 son is sorting things out while I'm away at some place he knows about darn sarf !

Hi,

My regular place seems to have gone bust so I'm looking for a recommendation for a place around Lincoln / Lincolnshire I can have some bits made for the front end of my Project:

Front wheel spacer and some plates to hold replacement brake callipers.

Ta in advance

I've always found that after changing the oil & filter: topping up with 4 litres of oil leaves it at full after running the engine.

The filter keeps hold of the extra 0.3ltr

hope that helps.

Hello,
My Z1-R had the second type of piston. I seem to remember reading it was to stop heat transfer from the Sintered Metal break pads that came into fashion about them.
