Nice 1 noel063 i will take a look

Hi all iv'e also found it hard to find those counter sunk shredded washers and hex head srews seem a better option those srews can be a pain.

No need for lock tight as you say just a fibre washer.

I have a long magnetic flat driver but you need 2 peapol 1 to hold the driver tight why ther other undose the Allen bolt. Sometimes the slot on the damper can be rusted up. i do have a powered compact driver but normaly only use it for undoing the Allen bolt.

Throw it in the bin and buy a mikuni.

trials holiday in south wales having a jolly good time on my sweet 199b

Hello Larry yes i got them long enough. Mr smelling yes i still have those lovely Alloy bolts you did for me am just trying a few diffrant ones i don't want to take the bolt out the 199B just yet i cut it down but i will try the ones you made me.

Hello Larry yes iv'e ordered some connecting bolts with flat Allen heads there only cheap so i will try 1 on my 199B when they come. and ill post a photo if they fit.

thanks Graham for your info and thank you Woody. regarding the tank bolt am still looking for a nice 1 for my next build 1 witch is flat on both sides

Hello Woody the top 2 Dampers came out some 198B i required look like they had been in the for years stuck solid they was my other 199B i had had the same Dampers with a slightly larger Allen bolt on the bottom. my currant 199B not sure i did have the forks apart as they was leaking from the Allen bolt but can't remember what they looked like. may be the Dampers was a later style they have a white plastic shuttle on the End instead off the Alloy. or may be i was just off another bike strange no 1 knows anyway i have the other Dampers so ill use a set off those. come to think about it my currant 199B am sure as the smaller Allen bolt on the lower leg there for i recon they are standard Dampers.

Hello mr smelling it's pick up flat bed spray paint leaves a rough finish and tough got it from Halfords the forks was the last bike i did was good stuff if you use it i put a mask on even out out side it's bad Stuff but Good.

Larry by modern seals i mean same seals as what a modern trials bike would have.

if you look on the photo the dampers the the ite plastic sleeve on 1 off the dampers is the dampers that came out the 198B i only have 1 plastic sleeve the other was broke the Alloy sleeve do not fit the 198B dampers and i noticed the 198B dampers are shorter than the 199A but ill give it it a go when i get my fork legs back from the engineers they have been milled out to take modern seals then i will paint.

Hello Guys i have a pair off 198B forks am using on my next build. does any 1 know if the 199A damper will fit?

Hello Scot yes that is the same bottle opener dose work treat. can;t say the same for the gear oil filer screw it's hard to get to i have a Alloy 1 And don't want to chew it up. i gently tap it round with a flat ended screwdriver any ideas off a better way? i just changed the oil on the 199B also clutch oil.

the liner has been vapor blasted and is awaiting rebore first over size. the copper head Gaskets can be used many times by heating them up. i know a place that will make the copper Gaskets in copper but i have no need for any just yet i have 1 new and 1 uesd i may have some made tho depends on the cost.

i like it but my Wallet didn't am going to get the ignition case polished

Hi Larry yes Mr smelling is correct altho all my other bikes have copper Gaskets witch are no longer for sale i can get them made from copper but i would Expect them to be alot to make you can reuse the copper head Gaskets many times.

Hello Scot more photos for you and Larry i had some thick washers made for the cylinder head.

hears some i have

Hello Scot yes they are good just use 4 not 5 and old springs if you have longer clutch Arm use it will make it lighter my clutch basket is made from alloy some are steel.

Yes i have the same set up as smelling 1 finger also i didn't use the barnet springs as millerme says there to stiff.ignition case mod and longer clutch Arm good cable with clutch springs backed off all go to make it nice and light. i do have the original plate new not sure if i will use them on next build or buy more barnet plates.

i always load plenty grease on all moving parts goes with out saying. i may also have 1 made from titanium not cheap tho we will see i ham having titanium Engine bolts alot cheaper will keep you posted.

Am having mine zinc plated so it will never rust

Hit it with a big Hammer. only joking i use a old style bottle opener perfect fit.
