kevind5461 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hi, Just brought a nice T250 and have only just got it to run really nice after carb rebuild and ignition rewound by motoplat uk. Also forks re chromed at philpots. Gear selection now passable after lots of head scratching, At first i could only get 1st 2nd and 3rd gear. Took selector out replaced and ony got 4th 5th and 6th ?. The only problem left is the massive play in the swinging arm. The spindle is ceased solid. I guess the only way to remove is to cut out with a hacksaw blade down both sides as i had to do with my ty250. So the question is before I get the hacksaw out does anybody know what I can replace it with. Could I use needle roller bearings or plain bushes, would a bultaco one fit ?

johnmartin247 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I would measure the length of the spindle and the diameter, then check the Bultaco spares section at In Motion. I found a bultaco spindle to replace my Montesa one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
