Hi all.... Bit of advise please...
Firstly, having now got the front wheel built up and ready to go in, I couldnt find any wheel spindle bracket's/ locater's not sure what they're called but the bent bits of tin that fit either side on the spindle and sit round the leading link... However I noticed one of the wheel nut's was different to the other's in so much as having a round shoulder, on closer inspection of leading link I can see that there look's to be what can only be described as a round recess at the top of the spindle slot on the outer sides..... Am I right in thinking that these fork's (Banana by the way) used a different set up for locating front wheel and that there should be two nut's with shoulder's and one has been lost at some point and replaced with a standard one as there are three normal nut's and the special one that came with it... I can soon turn a shoulder onto one of the standard nut's or make a couple of locater's but was curious as to what was the original way of fixing.....
Secondly, Where the swinging arm fit's to the subframe is it just bolted to the frame either side with bolt's or should there be a spacing piece and spindle??? it's a 25DD frame I'm using and have already made a stiffening brace to tie the section's together in place of the battery/toolbox which feed's down to the engine plate mount's but could easily modify this to incorporate a spacer and sit it between the swinging arm pivot's....
Any advise greatly appreciated
P.S I've aquired a triumph T90 engine so it now look's like it's going to be a Grumph rather than a greebsa....
All the best Pete
