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

There sure is a shitload of alloy bits to spend days on ey,
The elsinore's box has an evenly spaced pile of zero's jerry,

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)

Cheers KB

Yep it is, I kept tripping over it going to the beer fridge down here,
 Its in the queue awaiting surgery.

Finally got around to De-engineering MK8 To MK7.
Also Geoff Morris performed a fine bit of surgery on the tank

Taking shape nicely KB, keep us updated mate. love the ex singer work stand, was that standard issue for an old husky you had maybe
