Spondon no 10

[clivegto]

Dropped the thunderrace front end out for a mock up with the K9 front end. Pressed the 2 stems out of the yokes, the K9 one had a adapted b12 stem in to fit a Magnum 2. Thunderrace one is 0.5mm slack in the K9 yoke. Going to use a stepped top yoke I got of @Joseph just needs a spacer making up to fit the stem.

Couldn't resist fitting the OZ front wheel for a look see

Do the blunderace forks have adjustable damping?

Yes there very good forks apparently.

Interesting option for those who require RWU forks then Presumably the stanctions are too thick to be allowed for classic racing.

Got a set of k10 yokes. If they might work

Thanks for the offer but I'm happy with these at this stage in the mock up bud.

[Joseph]

looking good. and you're certainly putting that unused part i had on a cool project

regarding the Thunderarse forks the diameter is indeed the largest of factory RWU forks however the discs are the classic Yamaha dialing in at only 298mm so if you want anything larger you need caliper offset brackets (not a fan of those myself)

[clivegto]

Right set about making it fit properly. Made a top hat spacer for the top yoke and a washer spacer for the bottom yoke. Ran some weld round the bottom of the steering stem then turned it down in the lathe to 0.5mm bigger than it was before, easy peasy job jobed

Long man, 750mm might put them on the Z

Excellent workmanship.

[clivegto]

So I ordered one of these supposed to be more powerful than a gt28 and spool up quicker. Only £269.42 from Speeding Performance Parts, that's alright I thought then + £18.98 freight and a day later after ordering + £77.60 important tax =£366.00  It's nice and shiny though

Still got the T2 T3 flange problem.

[Jdeac]

T3-t2 adapters are available

There not exactly cheap from our friends over the ocean in America land though. might make one.

[Suzukian]

The dollar isn't worth anything right now, imagine how much it would cost if it were worth something.  We're paying out the ass for anything imported.

[Jdeac]

Chop it off then clive and weld the appropriate flange on. You've got the kit to do it.

[clivegto]

Chop chop . Bought a stainless steel T25 threaded flange which I shaped one side out to T3 tha same as the headers. I then cut the T3 flange off the headers but left 2mm still attached. Flattened it of with my belt sander then cut the edges off. Just needs welding on now

Just needs a bit of tidy welding so I've asked my mate Will to do it rather than me doing it with me mig.

[Jdeac]

Result either way mate. You compared the holset to you other snails yet. Size wise

No not yet, though I would put it on the turbo page when I do
