Looking good mate Go with new needles. If the glued one breaks, it will be a right ball ache to sort, whereas now you are able to do it easily Dusty

I sure can! Next thing is try to find some mounting blocks and see how they compare to the RGV carbs. Might have to modify them a little.

Despite the past 24 hours being easily the worse of my life some people are always there for me. Firstly there's all you lot, and thanks everyone for your support. Then there's my personal friends who have all been so kind during all this. And then there's the local LC loons, namely Dusty. I dropped off a a/c RD swing arm this afternoon, I don't need it but it might help him out with the French RD frame, and he gave me all this.... www.aircooledrdclub.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=54611.0;attach=79906;imageThere's more in my truck, a crank, clutch etc. To say I was flabberghasted is an understatement. Dusty you are a true star! Alex

Rear engine brackets, 2 strengthening plates, 2 front engine spacers, a new coil mounting bracket and the side stand mount. Gave Clive the spare frame but he hopes not to have to chop it. This will be the first lot of work. Thee will be more frame mods later on. Dusty

Wow quite a list. He is a bloody genius though and very likeable. My swinger 'trim' should be a 2 minute job I hope! But it will have to go back later for the shock mounting issue. Have a feeling I'm going to need a much longer shock too unless he can fabricate a whole new mounting assembly.

Yea, they are clever guys. And have some awesome machinery. When I first went there - quite a few years ago now, they had a "turret" from an armoured vehicle sat on the floor. They had made it for the Sly Stallone "Judge Dredd" movie being filmed at Shepperton at the time. Looked like it weighed a ton. "Pick it up" says Clive !! Turns out they had fabbed it from some sort of composite and weighed nothing !! They get to make some exciting stuff. And Clive is a biker with a couple of Triumphs, although he was saying he now fancies an Rd350 !! I think I could talk him into a hybrid !! Dusty
