you have plenty clearance there and i remember now when you first started this that you were using the rb reed thats a good idea on the end plate as well have you had a look at casa lambrettas new 18 spline layshaft /8 stud hub /bearing and other bits only about £280 should really strengthen the back end up

a couple more pics, ive added a bump stop

I wondered about the bump stop and suspension travel very clever

A lot of welding are you not worried about porosity and air leeks remember my ts230 casing that leaked like a sieve

good point, the guy who did the welding said it wasnt easy, i wont find out for sure till i do a leakdown test, nice to meet you today gary, its always good to put a face to a name, your ts1 sounded spot on and was worth the hard work you had building it

A leakdown test is necessary for not only the inlet, but also to ensure there is no coolant leaking into the crankcase, etc.

Yes great to meet you as well holty had a great day out and fun ride back home acting like I stole it lol see you at Bridlington

i wont have that problem as my water inlet feed is into the barrel via the hole under the exhaust port, then a packer plate between cylinder and block seal the bottom of the cylinder, well thats the plan.
