Bringing 1983 / 2005 back to live

[Garry32]

Wheels are almost ready and have new Gold Seal.


Hi Uji, Are the wheel hubs lacquered or just left polished.
Wheels  very nice finish as usual to your standards.

Thank you gentlemen for the praise.
I couldn't do that without tyour advice in this great forum, the help of some friends and my network to painter, chromer, zinc plater and welder.

Garry, the hubs are not clear coated. Honestly, I forgot to do so. However, the rear brake panel is clear coated.

Found a NOS/NIB mission cover, part no. 11360-300-030.

According to parts book, this is used until # 7414, so sandcast only.

No idea if there is a difference to later 11360-300-040 for #7415 onwards.

Inside is a No, I assume prod. date. I see 44.10 15

Here is the mission cover that came with E2005.

So that´s odd.
The NOS cover has the correct early part number and should be a sc part but looks to be the later version.

Any thoughts?

[Steve Swan]

Perhaps because the covers produced October 15, 1969 were already showing different distinctions than the covers produced in June, 1969......?

too bad there's no date on your original cover.

[Sgt.Pinback]

Yes, they must have changed that within the first -030 serie but what  is the difference to - 040 for #7415 onwards?  

 

[Steve Swan]

looks like it.  one of those distinctions that is not reflected in parts book and important only to serious restorers.

[Sgt.Pinback]

I'll take the old one and have that polished. Try to get the same finish.

[Sgt.Pinback]

New primary chain, new tensioner, new crankshaft bearings

[Sgt.Pinback]

Head straightened (?), valves grinded (?) in, new cam chain, tensioners, rollers, clutch....zylinders honed etc. pp

Got a lot of stuff back from chromeing and painting.

Here is the exhaust joint set back from chroming (No. 1 -No3).

You have left/right + inner/outer so they are all different to each other.

In the meantime, I foung missing No.4 (outer right) via ebay in USA.
Had been offered there alone but costed me a fortune to have it here.

Bolts have been zinc plated.

[Sgt.Pinback]

Painted frame.
Left hand horn bracket.

Holes in rear gussets had been closed.

[Sgt.Pinback]
