Thanks!

Just curious why you’re replacing the M-Unit with a D box

From their website: Hubs come complete with cush rubbers, internal spider, plates, center piece and everything as pictured. Again, these are complete hubs that are ready to be installed onto your mainshaft. Probably best to ask them directly.

I had a similar problem on mine and just bit the bullet and replaced the whole clutch. It's not as expensive as I'd thought: https://www.classicbritishspares.com/collections/bsa-controls/products/triumph-bsa-complete-clutch-hub-assembly

OK, I'm back! I had a brush with Covid over the Christmas/New Year period. As I'm fully vaxxed and boosted it was like a severe cold for a few days, then tiredness, then a relapse for two days, then tiredness. I still get tired easily so I'm not fully recovered from it, but am around 90%...

Listen to your wife :cool:

BTW, the wheel is very crusty: Does any of that YouTube tinfoil-and-coke stuff work? I need to clean this up, does anything work as well as it does on the Tube?

Got the other fork rebuilt using the same process. All was good, except the powder coater had put a screw of indeterminate thread into the drain hole to mask it. The screw wasn't the right size, so they used masking tape the thicken it up, and then during the heating stage it melted to a gooey...

Here's a better picture of the end of play today:

No news on the swingarm yet but I have been busy on the front end. I got the fork yokes powder coated and reassembled the forks as described earlier: I also painted the Betor handlebar mounts and mounted the handlebars onto the top yoke like so: There's not much room to access the first...

I'm taking it back to the shop to have them ream the bushings so the pin slides smoothly
