Well done. I saw that and thought it looked like a decent basis for around £1500.
I look forward to seeing your progress.

I'm not that far with my own ST yet..... And I hate wiring...

I'll help you when you're ready.

Welcome, nice to see another nice ST on the road.

Who did you use for plating Deka?

Easy peasy with a wiring diagram!

The dowels are there for a reason, that is to stop movement of the caps when engine is running, i would run with caps out of a different motor providing they come into spec but not without dowels as this is asking for trouble the caps can and may slide. Myself and others have run without the dowels...

I've seen one of those silencers in the flesh and I'd say they are almost identical to the OEM.
Pretty much your only option I'd say

I went over today to get my head round the issue, and he had one in place without the dowels and it was a better fit.
Thanks to Duanne for agreeing to send his stack of caps over for trying.

Yes, you can safely run without dowels.

ChrisW and I have both gone through assortments of caps to make sets up that work in a given head with cams. It's easier if you don't use the dowels.
Good luck!

Having seen the stand in question, I'd say it's a repro - I have never seen an OEM stand bend and crease. I would suspect that if you bend it back it will go again.

Your best option right now I would say!

I think my seat base looks like it's been welded previously and looks a bit scabby. Won't know until I get it stripped. I've re-foamed and recovered seats before (but I'm no expert). I'll be fitting the new forks to my MK2 so the currently fitted ones would be available, one leg is pitted though. Ph...

If it helps, I have an ST loom you can borrow.

Nice one- I have one to do myself so will watch yours keenly!

Get in touch with A1 Classics in Derby. they have loads of stuff.
