The sizes are as acurate as I could get them with them installed on the forks. Ron

Hi again,
Regulator connected. Now I'm looking for the purple marker. I have two diameters, one too small and the other too large.It's time to install the front brake. I need to make a copy of the special bracket/bolt/nut as in the photo.
I am missing external dimensions such as:
L- length
H - height of the spherical part
R- diameter or radius of the sphere
D - diameter of the cylindrical part.
I would be grateful if someone would like to help me.
PawelThe best I can get with a Vernier on all three of mine.
L= .85" (21.59mm)
H= .5" ( 12.7mm)
R= .7" (17.78mm)
D= .55" (13.97mm)
It wont notice if you round the mm up. 22-13-18-14

I use "WELSEAL" on both sides of the crankcase halfs. Allow to stiffen for 1/2 hour or so before joining. The good thing about Welseal is, it never really sets hard. Ron

I don't think it matters. If you look at the original samples that Lex posted. Yellow and Red is shown both ways. Ron

That's an interesting bike Lex. I quite like the RAF theme on the tank.
Since I invested £120 in the dynamo refurb, I might as well see it through all the way. I do like running lights on my way to the beaches. ☺️ Ron

I've had my DVLA inspection and just waiting for the V5C to come through. The bike is starting and running ok, but It's not charging the battery. Since my dynamo was professionally refurbed, I can only assume that the regulator isn't functioning properly. So I've gutted it and await the new solid state DVR2 that I've ordered. Ron

Something odd there! the frame numbers for contract S6680 are Tl 53418 - 58617 and Engines 63418 - 68617 (5200 bikes)
The original order was for 8000 bike but reduced to 5200 as the war was about over by then. There might well have been extra bikes stamped up like your engine.
I'd really want to polish the frame number up and study it with a magnifying glass. Is the chassis/frame number stamped on the contract plate? Ron

is it me or is there a mix up with your numbers TL47583 is from contract S5340 and I calculate your census number as C5568083 (same contract as mine)
Your engine number seems to fall after the WD sequence of numbers. Can you post pictures of the numbers and any acceptance stampings on the crank case?

Ha Ha. Yes Andy! Don't want it rolling off. It just needs petrol for a start up anytime soon. Ron

I had to crack on and get it finished as the DVLA inspection was planned for yesterday. I'm sort of hoping they will reinstate the Irish number that it was first registered with. I've temporarily installed the rear stand but will be leaving it off once the side stand is adjusted to my liking and spot welded. I don't really trust the clamp on stands without a back up weld, and the correct G3L side stand is a laugh and a half.
On the 3rd attempt I've finally got a leak free primary case. My second attempt was one of the "T" section soft rubber items which is now in the bin. Ron

The lower link spacer washers are the same thickness as the damper plates, to keep the links parallel.
The dome end on the spindle nut sits in the scallop in the brake plate.

I have 2 or 3 more in the series if you can't find them. Ron

I'm picking up my rebuilt carb and a new rear chain at Kempton on Saturday, then I've got the DVLA inspection for sometime in February.
They didn't mention the Irish number or the mistake they made in the 60's. I guess it will be an age related number.

I looked back at the start pictures and it was routed under the engine. I might as well go with that Lex.

My brake shoes finally arrived this morning, so despite the freezing conditions, I've started to build up the rear end. I've also already fitted the Amal handlebar controls.
I've no idea why there is such a long speedo cable. I'll see if I can re-route it to loose some of the excess before spending out on a new shorter one.

Well that would be good. I'm sure John will be fine with that. Ron
