mike350 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm close to completing my 199A but I'm missing the front wheel spacer and it seems to be about the only part that Bultaco UK don't have. I have a similar one (right part, wrong bike) which has the correct internal and external dimensions but I need to shorten to the correct length. What length should it be? If someone could measure theirs it would be much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike350 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hi Bondy, Many thanks for that. The internal spacer is no problem as Dave has them. It's the longer one for the left hand fork leg that I need. I can now shorten the one that I have to 23mm. Should mean that I have the front wheel in today! I should keep the split spacer for inside the fork leg if I were you. I could only get a used one. Thanks very much for looking. I know that you have taken a lot of these bikes to bits. Have you ever seen a straight chain tensioner? I have bought a new one and it has a dog leg which I believe is standard. Trouble is, it stands well out of line with the chain. Nothing simple so far.

bondy Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) hi mate dont cut anything just the spacer in the leg isnt the size i gave you i will go and check the size now. yes the chain tenstioner is sopose to be dog legged you must have put it on the wrong way round thats all.
