pawelcen Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Thank you very much. Maybe I'll leave it in inches. My turner already likes them. 🤣🤣🤣 Pawel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The sizes are as acurate as I could get them with them installed on the forks. Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welbike Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Pawel, If the purple shrink tubing is too small, you can stretch it a little, with some circlip pliers, until they fit, and then heat up in place, and you won't notice. Lex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Thanks. The purple tube has 4mm on the outside. I made a 6mm conical brass rod which I heated. Then I pulled the tube over it and dipped it in cold water. The larger diameter has stabilized. She mounted the cable without any problems. When heated, it behaved like a regular heat shrink band. New patent. A large one with a diameter of about 12 mm, after heating, shrunk to only 6-7 mm and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welbike Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Nice work, but cold it also works! have done this many times! Keep going! Lex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Hi Ron, thank you for helping me with the wiring instalation. I am doing according to your suggestions Quote I also slightly modify the wiring by taking the Regulator “A” wire directly to the ammeter then a wire from that terminal on the ammeter back to 3 on the light switch. Could you please size the rear brake rod? Mine is 510 mm long and ~6.7 mm (?) in diameter. I think this is a post-war modification. Was the diameter 1/4" and the thread 1/4"x26tpi?

Ron Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'll check it in the morning Pawel. Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Pawel the rod is 18" (460mm) and 1/4" with 26tpi threads. Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Hi, another problem is the upper chain cover: I have 5 pieces. Two gray from the top bought on ebay.uk from one seller two pieces. Each is different. The next two were bought together with two motorcycles. The fifth downstairs was added as part of the motorcycle. These three are identical but modified. Unfortunately, these new copies do not match Triumph. They are too long and are too high after screwing. Can these three lower be from Triumph?

Ron Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I just measured two of mine:- along bottom edge from primary case to rear tip:- 3SW = 510mm 5SW = 520mm Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Thanks Ron, from the case to the end, one is 51 and the other 52 cm. 🙂 The total length is 57 and 58 cm. Unfortunately, the mounting holes do not match. Always uphill, not easy. Pawel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I'm sure you will make it work Pawel BTW Engineers use mm. Dress makers use cm😆😆 Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawelcen Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Thank's Ron. I use inch, feet, galons etc...😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Yep me too usually. I still haven't quite got the hang of those Napolionic measurements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 I do the opposite.🤣 Did you know that the French used their thread system? I read about it, but I don't know what the difference was compared to DIN or BS. Fun fact. Pawel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 (edited) It looks a bit bad to me. I think the bar on the mudguard support is too high. What is the distance L from the bolt axis to the crossbar? What is the distance A from pumps. In mm or inches, pls. 😀 Pawel Edited April 5 by pawelcen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Distance L is aprox 5 1/2" on both mine. However the pump brackets are 15" on my 3SW and 16" on my 5SW. Considering that my 5SW chainguard is about 3/8" longer than my 3SW. I would suspect that this one is a reproduction? What do your pump brackets measure? PS have you got a 90 link chain? Maybe your wheel should move backwards a bit more? Ron Edited April 6 by Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Hi Ron, thank you. Yes, the rear chain has 90 links and the primary chain has 74. I think so, I will count on Monday. Dimension L is 5 7/8". I need modify.☹️ Regards Pawel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) What do your pump brackets measure? you could just put a 3/8" spacer under the bracket to save cutting and welding. Edited April 6 by Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 I thought so too. The pump will not fit: screw head, bracket plus 10mm. This will go into the pump. These are copies from England, i.e. from India.😵 Nothing fits. The one at the top has a dimension of 510mm from case to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Yes I forgot about the pump. That means cut and re-weld the bracket. It looks like the top one is the best you have. I can't remember if Jan makes this chainguard or not? I'll ask him. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
