Gday E74,
Just wondering about the first photo of the yamaha, is it a YZ250H 1981, I was just wondering about the forks whuch are pictured. Do they have a lower metal bushing that fits around the inner tube or does it only have the one that fits into the top part of the lower (outer leg), As i am a bit puzzled with a similar resto I am doing...
Like your taste in machines Cheers Brett

[E74]

Brett, I am confused about which bike you mean?, the YZ465 with the Yello Simons Forks?, or the photo with the alluminium original forks? ( which tread is the photo in?)

[oldyzman]

Yep it is the yellow yz, but i cannot seem to se it there now, I was talking about the original forks-but i probably saw a pic of the simmons ones cause they looked quite nice, The forks I am restoring is from my yz250f 1979. are you familiar with the metal bush (slides)
Cheers Brett

Weird thread to be doing this but, diagram below shows exactly how it should go, there is two bearing, a spacer (12) and a seal in the front wheel, besides that there is the axle (24), a sleeve (26) that sits over the 14mm length of the axle and buts against the 19mm part of the axle, the dust seal (25)  sits on the sleeve and against the seal.

Jonsey and I had our annual pilgrimage to the Musclecar Masters at Eastern Creek on the weekend. I've never seen so many cool cars outside of the Summernats. The Mustang has it's new Joe Polito 500+hp 347 Windsor and sounded bigger than many of the race cars!
We lined our cars up for our annual photo..the first for my white Walkinshaw.
Anybody want to buy my black XJS by the way?

Firko where was the Klub Kevlar number plate?

Gday guys, I know this is an old thread thought I would start it up again because dad and I are doing up this 1977 xc coupe it is a factory 351 4speed and it is fully optioned it has the sunroof aircon and about 20 other options.

I was working on it today and I had to start it and it rumbles the motor was on original bore it is all matching numbers and we had the motor fully rebuilt with a lumpy cam and it is an absolute beast I could have driven it on my L's but now I will have to wait a good 3 years to get a drive in it.

Here is a few pics, thanks Michael.

Looks good Frosty......you obviously have petrol running through your veins.

[Stan S]

Geez Frosty, that thing looks fantastic. I am very envious of you and your Dad being able to do a project like that together. My son went over to Tassie for Uni in 2000 and liked the place so much he stayed. I miss not being able to do stuff with him.
p.s. I paid a deposit on a new XC fairmont coupe back in the day but had to pull out before it was built. I have always regreted not going ahead with it (and keeping my Mrs happy with a new house instead).

Regards Stan.

I had an XC GS ute with a 302 and 4 speed in the same red pepper colour.  Loved that ute.
