Model A - primary chain case tinware

 Moving on from the clutch bowl, our 10 bashing activities come to the primary chain case. This is all present and mostly correct but some of the brackets and appendages have been broken and repaired by riveting. 

One thing we mustn't forget when we view this overall shot is that the position of the gearbox rather dictates the position of the primary case in that the primary case aperture for the clutch must accommodate the full range of movement of the gearbox. 

We must also think about the bolt hole for the rear upper chain guard. 

Again this position is dictated by something else - in this case the rear bolt for the chain guard which is fixed to the luggage carrier.

However we can take comfort from the fact that the holes for the foot rest bar, the brake lever and the shock absorber grease nipple at the front are fixed positions, so we can probably weld up the lower rear bracket without too much worry.

 The secondary cover, which protects the dynamo chain is present and in more or less sound condition - it's only missing one of the feet.

The stripped 1/4" CEI stud in this position came out very easily. The bracket is a little bent.

Here's that missing foot:

There's plenty to sort out here!
