There's lots of little jobs around the bike to be getting on with. This one is the dynamo cork gasket which I bought from eBay. It was a little big and needed 3/8" taking out of the circumference.
That's the dynamo chain in place. It's got a split link which I think is unusual - but I think that this is the original chain. It's very difficult to tension because whilst you can turn the dynamo to tension the chain, as soon as you do up the clamp it pulls the dynamo back into the crankcase and loosens the chain again...
These are the clamps for the head steady. I've fitted them in place with some leather shim between the clamp and the frame to protect the paint. I'll leave these here for the moment until I have made the new studs for the rock box, and then I can fit the head steadies.
I bought all the cables as universal types from Draganfly. When I unwrapped them I was pleased to find the air and throttle cables were complete with their nipples fixed in place at both ends. Whilst the throttle cable fits ok, the choke inner cable is much too long so I will have to move the nipple.
These two pictures show the routing that I have adopted for the clutch cable. I've shortened the outer to suit this routing, and when the gearbox is back together I will fit the nipple.
I've made up two gaskets for the carburettor and the heat shield.
Perhaps inevitably, the throttle stop is missing from the twist grip. As soon as you slacken the cable these loose stops fall out and can be easily lost. I'll make one on the lathe later - perhaps two, one for the toolbox as a spare.
