TV175 1963 strip and rebuild

[fluff34567]

I have a few possibilities on a replacement crank so no worries there.

On a more positive note I have arranged access to a blaster on a DIY basis.. a small one which the frame can go in and maybe a walk in also. It uses fruit stone.. I guess they mean walnut, I tried the air box as a test piece and the paint fell off.




I'm making my list of required parts and Cambridge appears to be a 1 stop shop but has high postage.. will need to sit down and compare totals.

I am on holiday so no updates for a while but whilst I am away the engine casing and various ofter parts on the frame are being welded.

As I don't have access and couldn't find the info online can someone tell me the bolt size for the stand mounting bolts please, Is it M8?

Thanks in advance.

Received a pic from the welder. . Engine case is done and looks good.

It does look good. Mind you I can't even tell where it was repaired. Was it the linished bit?

[fluff34567]

Yep exactly, I will blast it next week and should look perfect without any hint of a repair.

I'm pulling in a few contacts to get them clear anodised or acid dipped so end result should be quite nice.

Just saw the casing damage caused by a loose rim bolt isn't here and will further explain the above pic.



Yes the rim mounting bolts will be replaced
