Hybrid Update....The Rebuild. Now Rolling

[seanrd]

Ok so here we go start of the new project. Came into a small amount of money recently due to the loss of a relative a couple of years ago. So have bought this but what do I do with it, it’s a matching numbers 7 owners from new but I only really wanted it for the engine to go into a 4LO or 4L1 hybrid and to pass the rest on. I’ve got 18 months to do it, well October 6th 2011 to be precise when my 33bhp restriction gets lifted. It’s not running….yet but has good compression and everything so will try and get it fired up sometime this week. So what do I do HELP PLEASE!!!

[bryan]

dads looking on in pic no 5 thinking 'for fu**s sake whats he brought now' ;D

Total strip and rebuild please.

[seanrd]

Pretty much, should of seen me ma's face

[seanrd]

Martin your a man of wise words All ready working out the damage this is going to cost me but oh well it's all fun and games, im sure my parents will put up with me for a few years yet

[scott]

if ur going the 4l0 hybrid way i would be interested in the tank if it's solid and possably hangers and swing arm depending on price.looks like a decent start to a good bike tho m8

Looks like you got a real good starting point for your project Sean. To make you feel better maybe you should take a look at the mess I'm currently working with in the "Back to the Future LCII" thread

If you decide to offer for sale the pipes and/or the instrument cluster could you please let me have first dibs as I'm struggling to find both without having to be invloved in another Brink's-Mat!

Have you had any more thoughts on the build design yet? I mean after all, you've slept on it so now all should be clear

[Norbo]

The boot of my car has looked like that many times after bringing bikes back in it .
vans so handy when you have them.

[seanrd]

Done some work on it today, got a bit bored to did myself a cutch cover aswell as a water pump one, just need to put in the drain plug

[seanrd]

Bikes not getting broken Gary, my Dads decided he wants the LC2 now, so im after a 2nd set of cases to use yeah seems to of used enough to seal that BP oil leak

[seanrd]

220 mile round trip last night in the little fiesta, but returned with some goodies. German frame 4L1 with log book

Sitting very low


That would be why then


TZR 125 front end, can anyone tell me the exact model please?



TZR125 rear wheel and brake



Wiring loom maybe ahah


Really well done rear light conversion lol

[seanrd]

Im trying to get him to hurry the feck up with the X7 special lol

[Norbo]

The clutch cover looks nice .
cant tel you the model number on the TZR but i think its called the belingo the last type they did .
And i Big LOL at the loom .

[seanrd]

Ive found out the TZR now Norbo, its the Italian version the "belgarda" Im sure I’ll be given you a bell in a weeks time as i need some blingy stainless goodies for it.

[seanrd]

Update Time:
Been a while since ive touched the bike, but theres been a few parts turning up recently and im going to start cracking on with it.

TZR125 4DL SP Rad mocked up for size and position


Might use the bungee strap method, for final assembly :?


KR1S Front end to replace the TZR USD's that are on it, the USD'd might find their way onto my TZR :oops:


Clutch Cover all done now hope it don't leak :x


That's all for now, hoping to get the front end in next week, aswell as start to mock up the brackets for the new swingarm im hopefully getting. mmmmmmm 3MA

[seanrd]

Cheers Martin, ive got glandular fever at the minute so im stuck on the sofa with no energy, through the worst of it according to the blood test today so should be back in the garage in no time. I'm going to have to modify the frame for the 3MA swingarm Oh well should look allright once its done.

[JonW]

Great build and good to see the hauling of whole bikes in cars, I tend to do that quite a bit as well

Sorry to hear about the Glandular Fever, been there and done that.... horrid. get well soon!

[seanrd]

Cheers Jon, it'll get there i just sort of don't want to get it done before i can even ride it, becasue i'll just be so tempted. Yeah Glandular fevers just put me on my arse basically. No energy and where i nod off in the day i can't sleep at night. Getting there now got to take it easy for a bit the doc sais. Didn't tell her about the drag racing 2 weeks ago lol

[seanrd]

Oh yes

[seanrd]

Just got to polish it now Will do Martin, hope your willing to wait a while till ive got it running ahaha but i have got a page or 2 on every ones info if you want me to pm it to you?

[seanrd]

Right long time since a proper update so here we go....

Worked hard over halloween as you can see


For the TZR, smells rather good


Stipped down


New swing arm spacer on the saw


New clutch window made up, o rings, and bolts. Pressure turned on the lathe at college


Swing arm being machined, 10.8mm off each side to squeeze in the LC frame


In the night garage

[JonW]

Great work Sean! I need to get a couple of those o rings, do you have a size for yours? and did you get O'rings or flat 'washers'?

[seanrd]

O-rings are readily available on the net, Polymax i think the comapny was called. I think they are 145mm? Basically the internal diameter of the case. Hope this helps.

[r1olly]

nice build mate, you dont hang about, always nice to see pics. good luck with it.
olly.

[seanrd]

Cheers for the comments guys, Swing arm is now in the frame so time to start mocking up the rising rate linkages.....

[seanrd]

Swing arm in, ready to start mocking up the linkages




Removing the old dust seals from the end caps, replacing them with an o-ring as they won't fit other wise

[seanrd]

finished off making my swingarm spacer this morning, few more pics

[paul8899]

need more pictures !

[seanrd]

Not much happening at the minute, waiting for a few bits and some money

[seanrd]

Quick update, swingarm back from beadblasting, removed all the anodising thanks headcoats (1966) for the tip. New rear caliper, tiny little 4 pot.

Really like the loctite scheme, anyone have anymore pics?

[looey]

Looking good Sean, looks like you'll have yourself a special machine when it's finished
