dozerash Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 I have had a little extra time lately and been finishing up some projects. I’ve had a 1980 SWM TL320 basket case for a few years now. The engine is done with all new bearings, seals and a lot of other new parts. I’m in the process of putting the engine back in and I’m having trouble getting the swingarm to fit. I did install new swingarm bushings. Any tricks or advice on getting it to fit? I didn’t work on it for too long today and I have to go into work tomorrow but should be back on it Thursday. I also have a new seat cover to install and could use some advice putting that on. What glue do you use and and tricks stretching on the seat base? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basinbaker2 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Swing arms are a pig to fit, but also measure across the rear engine mounting, and check the new bushes actually fit, sometime you need to grind the inner off the bushes to get the necessary width.

dozerash Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I got it, wasn’t too bad after I unbolted the skid plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
