The Copex that I use is 32mm, it's a flexible hard plastic, the inner and outer sleeve can both be used as both are split along the length, the diameter is not really an exact science as masking tape could be used to stop rotation.
'O'Ring chain first used on the Z1b.

Well done Steve it looks awesome. MOT next and Stafford Show in October

Very nice, Buzzard is doing a head for me at the moment. Hope is turns out like that.

Carbs are now fitted, all went well
Spent a little time neatening the cable routings.
Plan to spend some time in the evening during the next week fitting the exhaust and hopefully ready for first start up next weekend

Looking sweet Steve

Fitted the exhaust tonight.
The method I used was to ask Julie for a hand
Bit of grease on the copper washers to hold them in place.
Placed the connecting rubber on the inside (bottom) Exhaust.
Whilst I lifted the front of the inside pipe into place Julie lifted the rear and put a screwdriver through the mounting bracket on the exhaust and through the exhaust hanger,I then loosely fitted the clamp.
Outside exhaust exactly the same, I lifted the manifold end into place whilst julie held the rear of both exhausts removed the screwdriver made sure both exhaust were in the connecting rubber and then inserted the screwdriver back through both exhaust and the hanger.
WHAT A GAL
Again I loosely fitted the exhaust clamp.
I then removed the screwdriver and inserted the bolt.
Tightened up the clamps, tightened the connecting rubber, tightened the bolt.
Otherside repeat.

That is looking superb mate. Top work.

Hi Steve
people who work on old Zeds should have an extra pair of hands when putting the exhausts on. Lucky you have Julie to lend you that extra pair!
Well done, she's looking stunning !
Greetings
Philippe

Crackin' bike - Best colours & model buy a mile

Cracking job you've done there!

Started first press
Turned it over a few times on the starter without petrol.
Re-checked oil and topped up as oil pump and filter had now been filled from engine turnover.
Added petrol, checked for leaks, pressed the button.......
