The Holy Grail...resto

[090]

This thing is really starting to come together. All the parts that were missing have been sourced . Got onto a guy from Holland that speaks no english. Lucky dads a dutchy himself so we were able to get all the hard to get parts from him.
Check out the tank. Its the early style as the rest of the bike is as well. I already had a tank which is the same as the side pipe which they went to on later year twin pipes. I really wanted the early tank and now it has turned up, as far as I'm concerned, money well spent. It has never had fuel in it! Brand new!
Also the clutch cover is also brand bloody new. I couldn't believe it. Its amazing what's out there if you are lucky enough to find the right guy. I still have some parts coming from S.A as well.
Dad is the one doing all the work on this. I have been putting my hand in my pocket for all the parts and will assemble the motor when  we get the crank and barrel back.

Hey bud
You in the new homestead?
We hit a minor snag with a few parts being wrong but in the process of sorting that bit out. Dad is close to having a roller going. he had a swing arm axle made today so I will have to go round on the weekend to take a couple more shots.

I think thats a testament to Firkos theory that there is still plenty of bikes and parts out there if you are prepared to look.
Brad has a real passion for this twin pipe and is obviously putting in the effort to find the parts and bring this bike back to life 

Many people me included give up to easily because they couldn't find their own arses with both hands and a map 

The fact that Brad and his Dad Bert are working on this project together is way cool.
I really enjoy it when my Dad visits and we can do a bit on the bikes together

This Bike will be a stunner when finished and you can bet it will be a race winner to  not a garage queen

Typically, we hit a snag. We had to change a gear over on the gear box set we were using. The problem was that it was held on the shaft by another gear that was pressed on. We don't have a press. Also another small hitch was that we didn't have two 7mm diameter bolts that are part of the series of bolts that hold the head on. Is there an easy source for 7mm diameter bolts anyone ? Maico's have a few random 7mm bolts as well, stupid idea!

It is looking pretty good so far thanks Michael.

Hi Brad,
I purchased some 7mm bolts off Les of Mainly Maico for the rear sprocket.
Give him a call.
I also found a chap in the Uk that sells 7mm bolts.

No last time I went up to Moss Street when I needed them.I have been told MCS has 7mm chain adjuster bolts. Just need to cut them down.
Will check the nut and bolt place out first though Stew.

Good luck finding the 7mm bolts Brad, isnt it a bitch when its a little thing like that.
We are moving to the new 'YZ Rest Home' on the 28 Nov. I hate moving already and I think I might be a vmx horder.
