I had loads of stuff done by Griffs for my Lawson. Great service, fantastic finish and they highlighted some cracks which need repairing properly and did not charge the earth.

Could not recommend them enough. Turn round might be slow if you are desperate but this was not an issue for me.

Cheers Kano - can you post a picture of the bottom mount as well? I got the top right so issue must be bottom one!

Time for a quick update and pictures will be posted when I find where my wife has hidden the camera. Engine rebuilt but using original cams after the issues with the Web ones. Filled it with oil and some minor leaks but a bit of bolt tightening seems to have done the trick. Put the battery on charge...

Should the cable (cables in my case as RS36 fitted) run above or below the spine of the frame where the coils are mounted?

I can't get my fairing to line up properly with the headlight. Suspect I have re-assembled the mounting brackets wrong given how long ago it was I took the thing apart. Can another Lawson owner post up a couple of photos of both top and bottom mountings please? It was the only thing I did not photog...

There is one on eBay today.

What a price though!

Kano, i looked at the same fairing on eBay but was put off by the lack of mounting brackets. His posting was silent on this so I sent him a message and he told me he had lost the brackets that went with it. Hope you can find something locally that will do the job for you.

I got them from Tim Blakemore Racing in Bristol when he did the work on my cylinder head. It does look like they are the wrong ones and Ade is right on his prognosis. I've had them lurking in the garage for about 6 months so not sure if he will give me a refund or swap for correct size. Will try tho...

Done that. Comparing standard v Web the Web is certainly smaller than standard but the site is silent on it other than telling you what base circle is in the glossary.

Come on racers! Someone must have fitted these to their bikes? Part number is definitely Z1000/1100 up to 1984.

Just bolted in a standard cam and the gap is perfect.

Any suggestions welcomed?

Just putting together the top end of the engine and my valve clearances are miles from where they should be based on the tolerance given in the workshop manual. They all appear to be circa 2.4 mm. The shims fitted appear to be 2.2mm so even with the thickest possible shim fitted (3.5mm) the gap is s...

Rob, looking really good especially given where you started from! Looks very much like you are going to beat me to the finish line as my Lawson is still languishing with it's engine half built.

Here is some of the pictures back....

Many thanks to KZCol. Rapid turnaround, excellent work and highly recommended!

one step forward, 2 back over the weekend. Bought the helicoil kit from Uni-threads as recommended by Robw. Great service and advice but found I need to remove the head again to drill out the holes. My old man who is wise on such things recommended I did all the holes whilst it is off so back on pho...
