Montesa use alot of 7mm nut and bolts. I have 7mm tap and die which wasn't to hard to get. To make 7mm nuts use a 1/4 unc nut and run the tap through it its not perfect but it got me out of trouble. Ive never had to make bolts but Im sure it could be done.

Sorry Michael, I beat you to the punch by a couple of months. Well they were paid for a couple of months ago, still waiting for him to SEND them  :-\.

Thanks for all the help sourcing the 7mm bolts guys.

Super nice bike Brad. I really like your perspective on our sport as you don't seem to have the bias against the old bikes that many of your fellow Evo/Pre 85 era racers have. I hope your getting involved with a twin piper encourages more younger guys to get into the older classes, especially pre 65. The only way the early classes can survive in the long term is by guys your age becoming involved.

I agree with you Firko.It would be good if some of the guys sitting on the old iron freed some up and made it available ,although with prices as they are affordability is the big issue.Top job Brad and Dad.

I'll be putting younger riders on two or maybe three of my bikes for the big meetings next year. It'd be nice to see other retired older ex racers do the same. It'd also be a good thing to get younger blokes involved in the building of older bikes as well though. Brad, Shortshifter and Mainline are getting involved in early bikes and it'd be nice to see more. The bikes are nowhere near as nasty as the naysayers will tell you.

another work of art Brad, good stuff.

That front brake looks a bit dodge though.

Thanks guys. Full credit to dad as he is doing all the hard work.

Trying to cut my lap times by not braking and if they are not there I won't be tempted to use them. Good weight saver too!
