Don't think any manual would give info on interchangeability.

Re steering bearings, unless someone has done this before and has noted sizes, you will have to measure and consult bearing catalogues. No saying what you want exists unfortunately. Then you have to get creative, or pay someone to do some/all of the job.

Right... listen carefully....

Use the 300 frame and swinging arm that you have. Before you put anything together strip the swinging arm bearings are grease/replace. You will need to buy some rear shocks. I recommend BETOR or better. Use the complete front end from the 301 including the headstock bearings. You may need to make up a spacer as the 301 headstock is slightly longer than the 300 and may not tighten up. Use your 301 rear wheel but you will need to get a 300 rear brake plate to make it fit. I think spindle is same. Use your 301 engine & carb. Should be a straight fit. Not sure if the sump plate will fit or not but probably can be made to fit. You will need for a 300 - an exhaust, airbox, tank, seat, rear mud guard, brake pedal & rod. See Richard Allen for parts. Helpful but expensive.

exhaust £100

airbox £100

tank £50

seat £100

rear mud guard £30

brake pedal & rod £40

You should then have an arguably reasonably twinshock that is capably of winning trials. There are MANY tweaks that you can still do but that should get you started.
