Okey, Dokey then. It was cold and wet this weekend and I managed to knock over a few more jobs on the old girl. I needed to fabricate a rear master cylinder pivot lever, so I sourced some 6000 series 10mm plate and started to attack it with the mill and rough it out. Once the basic shape was... well... in shape I cleaned it up and pressed in a bronze bush for the pin that it pivots on, added a drilled and tapped hole for the grub screw adjuster, then a bit of a going over with some wet and dry and onto the polisher. And Voila!!
Next up I needed to modify the rear brake adjustable linkage as I wanted a more original setup. So, with some 10mm aluminium bar, drilled and tapped a 6mm hole for the spherical rod ends a bit of a clean up with some wet and dry and it bolted up a treat. I'm just waiting for the correct shollow domed slotted M6 screw to hold it on and this is finished.
Last job for the day, and I needed to mark and cut out the teardrop for the rear seat, overall happy with how it turned out. Its true that the last 10% of the build takes the longest. But at least with these types of job you get to see some fruits of your labour.
A few pics. Ciao. Lee.

Wow! Looking good Lee! Yes the devil is in the details, and yes you are right the last 10% is a butt kicker, but very satisfying. I sold my friend Enzo some parts and he asked if I could 'throw' them on the frame so he would have a roller. He has a ways to go! That's the meg from our own Jon Agland. Lou

Thanks Lou. Things are starting to come together now and every job I do tends to make the bike look a little bit more complete. That bike of your friends is fantastic! And I think it looks almost finished!! Ha ha ha.
Yes, I have the same mega waiting to go onto my bike. (I have a few exhaust options). Ciao. Lee.

Another quick update. A parcel arrived from Gowanlochs today, I've been waiting to pop these on for a while! Attachment:

Within a couple of minutes and they bolted up a treat, super happy that I've ticked another little job off the list. Attachment:

G'day, Mike. Funny, as I'm working through this bike and repairing or in some cases making the parts I need, I really should make a few more and then help out everyone else who will no doubt be in the same situation as me with those hard to find parts. I've got a few ideas on what parts to make, one of them is below the NCR fuel tank breather. I'm really hoping someone has one I can copy. If that's the case I'll see if i can get a batch made, as I think they're the prettiest fuel tank breather out there! Attachment:

OK, speaking of fuel tanks, I've repaired and sealed the "Big Bathurst" long range tank, and I couldn't resist stting it on the bike for a quick pic! All the fairing brackets are now made and bolted up, I've drilled/redrilled all the holes in the bodywork in the correct spots, now the fairings are off and I have the fill the old/wrongly placed holes and put a sheet of glass mat over the mounting holes on the inside of the farings etc for strength.

I quite like the "Army Green" Attachment:

Next job is making a drilling template for the oil cooler holes in the front of the fairing. Ciao. Lee.

Hi Lee, I am not in NYC at the moment, but when I return I can probably give you dimensions on the tank vent. If you look, I think you can find a post where I made the drilling template if that helps you. Lou

I used the onewayvalve of the accelerationpump of the Dell'Orto as a breathervalve. you could easily integrate it in the NCR valve without the need for exact copying ciao ducadini

I have some Dell'Orto spares I'll take a look and see what might fit. Interesting idea!! Thanks.
