Back in Game Harris Mag 2

Done abit of cleaning up of said filler area and some measuring looking at the newton site I maybe able to salvage it just previous owner has trimmed the tank but I think there’s enough for a Newton 500 filler to get hold and seal with an OD of 139 mm

150mm would of ment I could drill fresh but 139mm is largest they do which is pretty much were the holes are now I think looking at drawings 

[Allspeeds]

The other option is to do what MCS do with my race tanks they weld in a ring thats threaded so the filler just bolts on less faff and nice and strong base

It would be interesting to see how much he’s cut out if someone has one to measure for me @clivegto

2 Magnum tanks 1 Spondon tank and a Moto Martin tank. Looks like origanl hole would be 90mm,the Spondon one is welded on.

Thanks Clive so looking at that he’s lopped 10mm off my tank spoke to MCS he says it’s a doddle to sort

Well 20mm actually 10mm per side anyway it will mend thats the main thing could of been worse taken it to be stripped Monday fingers crossed it’s straight underneath it should be looking from the inside 

[Allspeeds]

Tanks back happy enough at that no major problems to see 

[Allspeeds]

Calipers finished off don’t look to bad

Gathers up some proper sprocket studs as some twat had used threaded stainless bolts ffs thanks to @Deanofor these had replated and married up with some TI nuts another sub assembly done jobs slowly grinding to a halt now waiting on main chassis parts back crank cases are being painted over Xmas I believe, polishing will be back 2 nd week in January, and I’m calling for an update on frame today,

once things are back though I reckon il have built up and rolling in a couple of hours I’ve already got new switch gear, throttle assembly, master cylinder etc from the spondon so it will look well on its way hopefully leaving me to concentrate on the engine building 

[Allspeeds]

Made a call today about my frame and it turns out it’s been ready since Friday but he miss placed my number 

anyway no dramas the owner lives at Tadcaster so he said I could collect from his which was a bonus saves me 2 hours driving  

it’s no secret I’m a fussy fucker but I don’t apologise for it and using a new company I was anxious about would it be any good it’s not an easy colour I wanted

well luckily the frame is 99.5% bang on! Colour is right and the coverage is nice and even no patches it’s only marked down on a thump print in clear coat luckily in  place you will never see and a tiniest spec of dust stuck in clear coat on a tube again not were you will see so I can live with it

i will be sending side stand and engine mount plate back there patchy on the colour but I’m sure they will sort them 

 

[Allspeeds]

I also had them ceracote my rocker cover and happy with that and the colour one tiny little run on it but again I had to pull it apart to see it so il live with it 

[clivegto]

Looks great 

[Allspeeds]

Thanks Clive need a picture of the underside front of your tank mine has two tags welded on which I thought were maybe be ware the tank rubbers would sit but there no ware near the frame does yours have them?

Yes looks like they have been cut down on my origanl one. My mag 4 style tank also has them as did the other mag tank that origanal came with the turbo framed one.  

[clivegto]

This might help it's one Bondy has just altered.  

[Allspeeds]

that’s interesting I wonder if they have been cut as mine are exactly the same neat but short unlikely two people would cut them short the same surly?

Just assumed they had been cut down as all the rest I've seen are longer.
