Moderator drewpy Posted January 8, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2013 anyone have an English wheel in the Manchester area? I have a stainless front guard which has had rear ended something and just needs the bumps flattening out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted January 30, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2013 well I got another pressie today courtisy of a fellow member of the sports moped forum. a 5 speed seized engine I'm hoping that left cover will fit mine as that will save me £50 for a new one, or if your daft, £100 for 2nd hand on eBay I'm off Friday and Monday so hope to strip it down and see what I have. Already I can see an unrestricted inlet worth at least £20 Off to pick up some zinc from Unity in Oldham tomorrow morning before work (they open at 5:30am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted February 15, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2013 got the brake stuff back from the chromers and they have done a really good job and only charged me £35 the problem is, when i try and put them on the splined brake cams, they won't fit on. it looks like the brake arms haven't been touched but I also had the brake cams Zinc'd I have tried kinetic energy and its not happening, anyone have a n idea what to do next. All I can think about is scraping some of the zinc away from the cams or maybe try and open up the arms up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted February 15, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2013 maybe try and open up the arms up a bit Done that trick plenty of times Drewps...... a large standard screwdriver & a tap with a 5lb. sledgehammer does the trick everytime Nice progress on the Gilera btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
