The rebuild begins!!

James had not got back to me regarding the use of his lock up, but with the itch to get on with the rebuild getting progressively stronger I decided to start it today!

The first thing to do was to attach the seat subframe, I had drilled out the top holes so a larger and stronger bolt could be used. Then I fitted the swing arm, (less the shock), and I was very surprised how easy it went together. Next was the oil tank, (situated under the seat), then the rear wheel. I tried the seat for size but found the the front lugs need to be adjusted, but thats Mono's for you!

TZ250D seat unit

Also picked up the seat unit from Ray at LRM Fibreglass, Watton. It has been made with good quality fibreglass and I will be using LRM again to get a TZ250D/E fairing at the end of the month. The foot rests and levers arrived from Dennis Trollope Racing Spares yesterday so as soon as the hangers have beeen powder coated I can fit them.

AP Racing 6 pot caliper

Managed to see Mick James to pick up the AP Racing 6 pot caliper, Im glad I did not put the disc on the front wheel as I was under the impression it was a right hand mount, as you can see that is not the case!
