Swiss Toni

Very special, and, as you'd expect, priced accordingly!

Cheers lads. Working now

Yup. No good! You're such a comedian Joris! However, I tried the key out of an 1100 Teapot, and it fits! So at least I've got a pattern to work from, if needed.

Check your email!

'99 Blandit. The locking fuel cap is causing problems. Key goes in, but won't turn at all. Dropped a bit of graphite powder into keyhole, and rubbed a bit on the key, to no effect! Still won't turn. Any ideas???

The original steel 'bridge' acts as a bit of a fork brace.

Thanks for that! Photobucket's fucked a lot of people's build threads up!

Not only that, is the gudgeon pin to piston crown distance the same on both models pistons?

Got any 'photo's of your mods?

PM me your email addy, and I'll see if I can send you a PDF.

Not yet. Daughter lives in Morrinsville. Might go out next Dec/Jan.

Hey bigpants! Welcome to OSS! Looking forward to seeing the Slabbie build.

+1. Or you'll bugger the lip up!

One going into my ET!

Try screwing a couple if self tapping screws into the seal, 180deg apart. Then pull it our with mole grips. Get the new one first though!

Hello mate, and welcome. What part of NZ you in?

Ditto! Welcome back, matey!

It just feeds around the basket, and the ends drop through the holes. Nothing complicated!

Like it!

Only thing I can think of, apart from the new bushes being so tight they've locked up (were they hard to get into the slider?), is either too much oil (hydraulic lock), or something locking the damper rod in the fully extended position. Maybe bent it on installation?

There are some breather covers that have a rear facing outlet.

Won't compress at all, or just very tight?

Try dousing behind the rubbers with WD40. That usually dissolves most adhesives.

Welcome McDuff.

You'll be lucky! Or...there might be some behind Cockney Ricks pile of rocking horse shit!
