Scooterotica

"bristolmod"

last week I decided to change the disc pads on my TV175S3. So removed the hub; stripped it down; cleaned it; replaced with new pads, and rebuilt it.

Had problems refitting the front hub/ wheel to the links, but eventually got it in- put it down to my advancing years/ failing eyesight. Brakes worked fine but working on the front noticed a slight lean to the N/S.

Today I removed the wheel/ disc and replaced the buffers- same problem getting the unit back into the links.

"Somethings not right" says bristolmod

After a very long think and reference to the original 1962 parts book., I discovered to my absolute horror that I'd fitted the axel the wrong way round (had the "shoulder" on the N/S and the nut on the O/S )

I've gone for a long lie down and am contemplating my scootering future..................

Hey,we all make mistakes.The good thing is you found it

Doh!!

I would have said nothing...................so you are at least an honest muppet

so easily done matey

if this was the Officers Mess and I was a Gentleman, I'd be left alone in a room with the RSM's Webley, and be expected to do the right thing.............

And the 2015 equivalent of that is... being given a knighthood and being awarded lucrative govt contracts.

True that!

I had a disc hub sent back from Beedspeed in this fashion a few years ago.
