Hey KB, if you don't get your measurement by next weekend I have an unmolested original Mk7 swingarm out in my 40' container at a mates place out the bush. I can drag it out and measure it up then. I have some other 250 mk8 parts also if your looking for anything in particular give me a PM.

Regards Stan.

Heh Hoony isn't great to see KB is coming over to the polished alloy side. A world of push starting and false neutrals awaits! J

Mk7 measures 377mm from swing to shock bolt centres.
(Make sure you use a modified steel gearlever, not the original alloy pretzel supplied on the Mk8)

Also Geoff Morris performed a fine bit of surgery on the tank 8)
