Re: New member with "Z1 project"

Would I be right in saying thats a 4 bolt front wheel , you may be better off sourcing a complete wheel in decent condition as you will need the hub and discs as well ........and I would probably put the correct forks in just to get the right period look , does it have the earlier clocks and yokes ?...

Re: Lawson Jigsaw Project

Just a thought ..... have they used the correct valve spring retainers for the shim under bucket ?
I believe they are different to the shim over bucket ones and maybe that broke the shims
I will stand corrected if that is not the case that they are different
