Nice, how far do you plan to take the resto????

Congratulations on a stunning effort, hopefully im not that far off myself.

Cheers chaps, you've just confirmed my suspicions.

Chaps, what's the thoughts on the torque settings for the cam cap bolts. The book says 104lbs ft , but i though that was very high and yesterday had a mare when one snapped when i was torquing them up. Luckily i managed to get it out, but im now concious of snapping another one. Paul

A few jobs just to finish yet, awaiting a new top idler and some shimming gear etc, head returned from Buzzard and put on at the weekend ( sterling job ).
New set of pipes, Seat, paintwork ready to go on as soon as I've finished and hopefully up and running[/attachment]

Shims required chaps, if anyone wants to part with some for beer tokens. 2.75.....2.55..2.45.... required. Paul

Anyone had issues with centre stand springs that keep snapping on the looped end.
I'm on my second one now in a matter of months, the end that goes around the frame hole keeps opening up as if it's not strong enough . They are Zed Power so it's the right one, and at £10 each not the cheapest.

All noted, many thanks.

Hi Chaps, just after some feedback regarding the favourable oil for a A4. This will be a newly rebuilt engine, so I would be keen to know your preferred Oil type..?????

Thanks for the advice chaps, now i know. They are pretty much the same bike anyway.

Thanksfor that Adrian, that makes interesting reading. If all A5 frame numbers range from 510341 -515578, that would make mine an A5 frame. I think! !!!!

Whilst awaiting the arrival of certain parts on the current resto, ive been reading various Topics on A4 A5s. Which started me wondering what is mine. When i took possession of mine there was no paperwork only the Nova registration. I was informed it was a 76 A4, and the headstock stated 08/76. Engi...

Well done, finally there. Cracking job, just enjoy it when the weather improves.

Looking good BigZ.

well done sir!!!!!
